Excerpt from Developer's Vision:

The chosen architectural style borrows from the southern charm of colonial, coastal Carolina and Georgia; residential components will combine high-rise and mid-rise condominiums with clusters of low-rise townhomes, villas or patio homes, adjacent to premium waterfront estate lots.

Cuz that's what colonial Carolina and Georgia were all about...highrises. :lol:

^Another example of neotraditionalism run amok.

Well, hey; this beats uncontrolled sprawl. At least they can pitch a gate and charge admission, and get people to wait for hours to get on a ride, or something!

This is far worse than sprawl. It is Disnification.

But hey, some people seem to want to live in a Disnified world. If there is a market for it, and someone can make a profit, then it will be done.

Not my style, though, but hey, whatever does it for them.

Update from their website.

Utility construction is virtually complete and preparation for street paving and bridge construction is underway. We look forward to breaking ground later this summer on the first homes to be built on Beacon Island and also to beginning construction on village amenities: the grand entryway and Pilot's House, Commander's Club and the clubhouse pool.

Per their timeline, the boardwalk should be complete. Has anyone seen it?

Got this email update:

Beacon Island Bridge Construction Moving Ahead After Ike

We are happy to report that bridge construction experienced only a brief delay caused by Hurricane Ike and has resumed full speed ahead. Also underway is completion of utility construction to provide energy, telecommunications and water service to the Island. As soon as these are completed, construction on the first homes and the community Commander's Club can begin.

...

Getting Back To Normal

On Sunday, September 21 (picture left), eight days after Ike, South Shore Harbour and Beacon Island were getting back to normal.

Bridge construction has resumed and is 50 percent complete.

Following tree clean-up and minor repair to the lighthouse, we are back on track.
