Laying A Foundation
|
9/9/2007 - Work Under Way For Bemus Bay Condos
By The Post-Journal Staff
BEMUS POINT — Foundations are being poured for the garages and the two buildings that will host 40 Bemus Bay condominium homes, and the project developers report that sales are approaching nearly half of the available units.
''We are extremely pleased with the success of the marketing program to date,'' co-developer Lee Chilcote told nearly a dozen Howard Hanna Holt Real Estate associates at what was billed as a ''muddy boots'' tour of the construction site last week.
There wasn't any mud to trudge through due to the dry summer weather, so the real estate agents got a close-up view of the foundation work and got to see how the new buildings will be arranged on the site.
Architects Donald Harrington and Stephen Whitney of Jamestown-based Harrington Sandberg Architecture & Engineering, PC explained where various first floor rooms of the units will be located in relation to the foundations that are in place, where the sliding glass doors will exit onto covered patios and where the swimming pool and gazebo will grace the commons central to both buildings.
Harrington pointed out the perimeter areas of the site that will be landscaped in an environmentally friendly manner using a bio-retention process to capture and cleanse roof, driveway and parking area water run-off before being allowed to flow into Chautauqua Lake.
''We had to take an innovative approach to water run-off because the site can't accommodate traditional run-off control methods,'' he explained. ''This approach is very 'green.' The landscaping that surrounds the site, the types of plants we'll use and the sub-surface soil grades will naturally filter the water and be very attractive in appearance.''
The real estate agents asked when the buyers who had signed contracts to purchase 16 of the 40 homes will be able to select from among the choices of kitchen cabinets, granite countertops and flooring.
Co-developer Paul Goldberg said that the selection process for suppliers was under way.
''We will be selecting very good suppliers who offer high quality products,'' Goldberg said. ''We are confident that buyers will have very good choices for their personalized finishes, but there will be a deadline.''
The condominium buildings, named Browning and Columbian, will be architecturally reminiscent of the two hotels of the same names that once stood on the site, and the low-rise building construction and site plan configuration have been designed to blend into the surroundings of the village that was founded in 1806.
Each of the homes at Bemus Bay, www.bemusbaycondos.com, will offer a private boat slip on Chautauqua Lake and owner conveniences including secured entry, handicapped access, elevator service, a covered garage and reserved parking spaces.
Four different floor plans with three bedrooms and two or three baths will include air conditioning, granite countertops, master suites, and a whirlpool bath and easy access to the property's heated swimming pool.
All units feature a private balcony or porch with stunning views of Chautauqua Lake.
