What's Up at Prominence?

Re: Prominence

I can see it now...party barges from the various developments all tied together in the middle of the lake on weekends, with NashLantaHam folks singin' "Redneck Yacht Club" together...

Re: Prominence

The lake closes up through out the year and you would have to walk on Water Sound property... Sounds like an extreme sales pitch to me...

Re: Prominence

I walked over to Prominence today and had a long talk with Sherry Carter, the Broker there. She said several things that just don't make sense to me such as they will have 1,000 to 1,500 events there a year! That's 3 or more events every day!

Please tell me this just doesn't make any sense.

According to the website:

"As the hub of entertainment on Scenic Route 30-A, Prominence's Downtown District will serve as an activity center featuring a diversity of events including Concerts on the Green, Harvest Festivals and Art Shows. Overlooking the wharf are Prominence's restaurants where you can enjoy casual or elegant dining. The Shops at Prominence are a delightful and eclectic mix ranging from upscale boutiques to everyday sundries. Stop in at the caf? for lemonade or a glass of wine, have an ice-cream sundae at the parlor or just enjoy the excitement of the Downtown District."

Didn't you see all of that? Didn't you go to the Art Show, the concerts on the green, endulge in the elegant dining, stop at the cafe' for a glass of wine and just enjoy the excitement of the Downtown District?

Re: Prominence

How or why did St. Joe let that piece of property escape them?

Re: Prominence

From every discussion I have had with the JOE sales people they tried very hard to buy the land, but the old man who owned the property would not come off his high asking price. Then the Prominence people came in & paid it. I also heard as the land sat there & the real estate market went south Joe tried again to negotiate with the Prominence people to buy it from them but they wanted a figure JOE would not pay.

Harvest Festival? What exactly do we ?harvest? in Sowal?

Are we to expect farmers with booths full of june grass drying on racks?

Perhaps they can go with that quaint New Englandy feel and import some Amish to till the land for Sand Spurs. I can just imagine, crusty ?ole Jeb picking spurs out of his beard.

?The suns a bit strong today Jeb, maybe you had better put on some SPF45?.

?Oh no?, says ?ole Jeb, ?I?m one of the plain people, better not go any higher than SPF4??..?

Re: Prominence

I guess you could claim that 'For Sale' signs are some sort of agricultural crop.

Re: Prominence

Correct JOE tried numerous times to buy the property and the price got to a point were i bet they are kicking themselves today for not selling.

Prominence does own the country cabins; however, they will have difficulty using them for an amenity center as that will require a change in the use/zoning. (although i guess Walton let Naturewalk do it!!)

also the ferry will never happen, technically JOE owns the bottom of the lake and the land surrounding...and over their dead body will they get access this way.

It will be interesting to see how this development comes along...right now they are building a product I feel many won't emotionally connect with as a "beach" home and their pricing is laughable.

I wish them all the best though

Re: Prominence

They are also advertising a 'tram' to the beach.

Wonder where that will run?
