From Downtown Stuart’s unique charm to endless waterfront adventures, Martin County has always been a vibrant hub of activity. This beloved region on Florida’s Treasure Coast is known for its local talent, rich history, and lively culture. Now, a visionary community concept is set to further enrich Martin County’s cultural scene. Storie would be a new place where performers, outdoor enthusiasts, fashionistas, foodies, and more can all come together and engage in common interests. Let’s take a closer look at how Storie aims to foster community and unite Martin County residents of all ages and backgrounds.
Eat, Drink, and Shop Like a Local
Set along the internal canal system, Storie’s Village Center may provide a new place where both local businesses and Martin County residents feel at home. Strolling along the waterfront promenade lined with local boutiques, art galleries, and stores would be commonplace. Locally owned restaurants and bars could become new hotspots for meeting friends or co-workers to enjoy cocktails and great conversation. Seating areas along the waterfront allow visitors to watch the electric boats cruise by as they soak in the sunset hues.
A Hub for Family Outdoor Recreation
As a central component to Storie’s design, the community’s plans include clean water initiatives and preserving open spaces for all Martin County residents to enjoy. An innovative filtration system would not only clean 500 million gallons of water each year but also provide a wide array of waterfront adventures. The serene waters would wind gracefully throughout the community, with convenient launch points for kayaking and paddleboarding excursions. Additionally, large freshwater lakes would make the community concept a haven for fishing enthusiasts. Whether gliding through the waterways on a non-motorized boat or casting a line from the pier, anglers of all ages would be able to reel in a prized catch at Storie.
On land, miles of walking and bike trails would connect residential neighborhoods, parks, and large green spaces. The plans include multiple trails along its waterfronts, nature trails that would amble through the area’s wetlands, and a mountain bike path that could wind through the trees. These paths would keep residents active while turning the community into a real-world classroom. From spotting local flora and fauna and gardening areas to art studios, inspiring lessons could soon be available to all.
Playgrounds, Pools, and Pickleball – Oh My!
With an array of parks and green spaces accessible to all Martin County residents, the planned Storie Regional Park would be a natural playground appealing to all ages. Children could make a splash at the splash pads or let their imaginations soar at the playgrounds. The community pools would be perfect for a cool dip on a hot day, with dedicated lap lanes for aspiring swimmers to practice their skills. Sports enthusiasts could enjoy a wide array of activities, from playing soccer or baseball on the sports fields to engaging in friendly matches on the tennis and pickleball courts. Two off-leash dog parks are also planned for four-legged companions, with separate play areas for large and small breed dogs. Storie Regional Park would be designed to be a multi-faceted destination that fosters active lifestyles and community connections.
Let the Good Times Roll
Storie’s open-air amphitheater would be a dynamic hub of entertainment for a wide range of events. Music enthusiasts could relish electrifying concerts by national artists or witness young talents taking the spotlight in school performances. Visitors could unwind on a nearby bench, bring their own lawn chairs, or take a stroll along the serene lake, all while savoring the live music. Friends and family would delight in gathering to watch outdoor movies under the starry night sky or partaking in an unending series of holiday events. With a venue like this planned, the opportunities for Martin County residents to come together and create cherished family memories would be endless.
