AVE Living at Tampa Riverwalk


AVE Living is redefining residential experiences with flexible-stay apartments designed for comfort, convenience, and contemporary living. With locations across the country, AVE communities are known for their resort-style amenities, elevated service, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. One of their most notable locations sits along the scenic Tampa Riverwalk—a thriving downtown destination that combines stunning waterfront views with access to Tampa’s cultural and business districts. As beautiful as the setting is, the Tampa area is also one of the most lightning-prone regions in the country, creating a very real need for advanced lightning protection. 


The Challenge: Protecting a High-Risk Property 


The Tampa Riverwalk apartment community is a large-scale, luxury property that requires robust infrastructure to ensure the safety of residents and assets. Traditional lightning rods were not sufficient for the level of protection AVE Living sought for their modern, multi-story building. They needed a solution that could not only handle the scale of the property but also prevent lightning from forming altogether—a proactive approach that would align with the company’s high standards for safety and innovation. 


The Solution: CMCE-120 Lightning Suppressor 


To meet this unique challenge, AVE Living installed a CMCE-120 Lightning Suppressor at their Tampa Riverwalk location. This advanced device offers protection for up to 500,000 square feet, making it an ideal match for the size and structure of the property. Unlike conventional systems that attempt to redirect lightning strikes, the CMCE-120 prevents strikes by neutralizing the electrical charges in the atmosphere within the protected area. This means the threat of lightning is significantly reduced before it ever has a chance to form. 


Results: Peace of Mind for Residents and Property Management 


With the CMCE-120 now in place, AVE Living has taken a forward-thinking step in property safety and risk reduction. Residents and staff alike benefit from the added security that comes with a lightning protection system designed for real-world conditions—especially in a city like Tampa. This installation reflects AVE Living’s dedication to protecting not only the structural integrity of its communities but also the well-being of every person who lives there.

Luxury Living, Elevated Olympus Property is a nationally recognized leader in luxury multifamily living, known for managing and developing high-end residential communities across the United States. With a strong emphasis on lifestyle, comfort, and long-term value, Olympus Property has built a reputation for excellence in both service and innovation. One of its standout communities, Olympus Harbour Island , is a prime example of upscale urban living. Located on Tampa’s exclusive Harbour Island, this waterfront property offers resort-style amenities, panoramic city views, and proximity to downtown attractions, all while maintaining an air of refined tranquility. Olympus Harbour Island’s Vulnerability to Strikes The premium location that makes Olympus Harbour Island so desirable also places it at a heightened risk for lightning strikes. Tampa, Florida, is widely regarded as the “Lightning Capital of North America,” experiencing some of the highest lightning strike densities in the country. With Harbour Island’s exposure to open water and its array of tall, modern structures, the community faced real vulnerability to lightning-related damage. These risks included power surges, potential fire hazards, structural damage, and service disruptions—each of which could compromise resident safety, operational integrity, and the luxury living experience Olympus strives to uphold. Game-Changing Protection: CMCE Lightning Suppression To address these concerns, Olympus Property installed the advanced CMCE Lightning Suppressors at Olympus Harbour Island . Specifically, the property is now protected with a CMCE-120 and a CMCE-55 , covering 600,000 square feet total. Unlike traditional lightning rods that attempt to redirect a strike to the ground, the CMCE is engineered to prevent lightning formation altogether. It works by balancing the electrical field and deionizing the surrounding atmosphere, effectively eliminating the conditions necessary for lightning to form. In doing so, the CMCE creates an invisible shield—like a protective dome—over the covered area, ensuring that lightning simply cannot develop or strike within its coverage area. Prevention Over Reaction: The Benefits of CMCE This proactive and preventative approach aligns with Olympus Property’s dedication to forward-thinking solutions and resident safety. By installing the CMCE-120 and CMCE-55 Lightning Suppressors , Olympus Harbour Island has eliminated its exposure to lightning threats, ensuring uninterrupted comfort for residents and safeguarding the property’s critical infrastructure.
