History of The Towers

Early Years and near destruction

1979 Completion: Built as a 103-unit mid-rise complex located at 2366 E. Mall Drive.

Mid-2000s Crises: Suffered heavy damage to 26 units from Hurricanes Charley and Wilma, lost six units in a major electrical fire, accumulated $50,000 in city code violation fines, and faced the 2006 housing market implosion.

The Turn Around

2006 Board Overhaul: A newly elected owner-led board took charge and hired property management firm Alliant.

Rebuilding: Cleared massive debt, fixed code violations, handled foreclosures legally, and repaired physical structures.

2015 Recognition: Recognized on May 15, 2015, by the Florida Communities of Excellence Awards as the statewide "Comeback Kid" winner. Read more about the award here: 2015 Comeback Kid Award.

Community Leadership

The remarkable comeback and continued success of The Towers would not have been possible without the tireless dedication and leadership of condominium president Terry Ondak. During the destruction caused by Hurricane Charley and throughout the rebuilding and restoration that followed, Terry played a central role in guiding the community through one of the most challenging chapters in its history.

A longtime resident, Terry has helped lead The Towers from those difficult early days to its current standing as one of the area's most desirable condominium communities. His commitment has extended well beyond rebuilding the property. Under his leadership, The Towers has emphasized resident safety through enhanced community guidelines and the installation of 72 security cameras—an investment that demonstrates The Towers' ongoing commitment to resident safety.

Whether you are a new resident or have lived at The Towers for many years, Terry is the person most residents turn to with questions or guidance.

Lightning

Nothing is more unpredictable than a Florida thunderstorm. Lightning can strike up to 10 miles from a storm, even when the sky overhead remains blue. For that reason, The Towers has installed an AEM Lightning Detection System that continuously monitors cloud-to-ground lightning activity and provides early warnings before dangerous conditions arrive.

When the system activates:

  • One 15-second horn blast — Lightning has been detected. Leave the pool and all outdoor areas immediately and seek shelter.
  • Flashing strobe light — The lightning alert remains in effect.
  • Three short horn blasts — The all-clear has been issued and outdoor activities may resume.

Residents are encouraged to download the free WeatherBug app to receive the same real-time lightning alerts on their smartphones. The app also provides radar, forecasts, current weather conditions, and lightning detection, helping residents make informed decisions before heading outdoors.

Together, the community's lightning detection system and the WeatherBug app provide residents with an additional layer of awareness during Florida's rapidly changing weather conditions.
