With twice the number of businesses that can be accommodated hoping to land a spot at Redfish Village, developers are reviewing each candidate for the correct balance, said Tom Rymer, New Orchard Group?s executive vice president of sales and marketing.
New Orchard Group, Redfish Village developers, has a plan to create a gathering place for the neighborhood combining 42,000 square feet of office and retail space with 80 residential condos.
?The developers want this to be a place where people want to come because there are a variety of things to do,? Redfish Village sales associate Allen Adams said.
Redfish Village is located on the corner of County Highways 30A and 83 near Blue Mountain Beach, however, the developers took the name from Big Redfish Lake, a coastal dune lake that abuts the property to the west.
?The commercial spaces, which are available for purchase rather than lease, were announced in July,? Rymer said.
Retail spaces range between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet and are listed from $763,000 to $999,000. Office units with 550 to 735 square feet range in price from $275,000 to $399,000.
The village has a central plaza that is convenient to the restaurants and boutiques located in the retail and office buildings. In the Ice House, a two-story building near the front of the property with open-air meeting areas three restaurants ? David Seering?s Piano Club, Beach Walk at Redfish Village and Lee?s Famous Recipe ? are planned. PJs Coffee and Planet Smoothie, a coffee shop and smoothie bar, will be near the pool and amphitheater. Wachovia Bank will occupy the first floor of the office complex. Other businesses scheduled to move into the Village are Aesthetic Clinique, Morgan Financial Advisors Inc. and H20 Properties. Developers are also in negotiations with a day spa, Rymer said. There are more exciting announcements to come, as Rymer hinted at high end clothing and jewelry stores and an art gallery that have expressed interest in the new project.
Rymer anticipates completing construction by December, and he expects many of the businesses will be ready to open in the spring.

When Tom Rymer stood on the second floor of one of the residential condominiums at Redfish Village, what he sought wasn?t the usual Gulf view but instead, he looked east toward Big Redfish Lake. Though many buyers look first for that sought-after ebb and flow of the Gulf, for Rymer, a New Orchard Group vice president, the coastal dune lake surrounded by natural vegetation was a bonus he hoped homeowners would come to appreciate.
There are two four-story condominium buildings at Redfish Village being developed by the New Orchard Group. The two- and three-bedroom units range in size from 1,185 square feet to 1,635 square feet and are listed from $900,000 to $1.5 million, with four floor plans available. The condos have 10-foot ceilings, granite countertops, hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. Each unit has a covered parking space and valet parking is provided.
One building combines residential and commercial space, while the other is strictly residential.
Residents will have many opportunities to enjoy the water, as there is an owner?s-only beach boardwalk to the Gulf and a dock on the lake. There are also two pools, an amphitheatre, children?s play garden and walking and biking trails around the lake.
