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.
