What's up with Magnolia Private Residence?

We stayed in the cottages and I was told they started the project, had money issues, abandoned it and have started it again. I agree it is an eyesore, and actually a night kinda spooky. We saw some transient looking people coming out of the building late one night.

Then a few days later, there appeared to be some work being done on it.

EEEK! Body snatchers! Vagabond ones at that.

it was kinda spooky, we were walking the dog and the place is all dark and boarded up and suddenly 2 men with backpacks just kinda stepped out from the dark, and went down to 30-A and started walking East.

that is what I get for typing and answering the phone at the same time.

Thanks for pointing it out, it made me laugh. Which means people who can laugh at themselves, never lack for entertainment.

MRC and Prominence seem to have one guy out front working (not the same guy).

I'm not surprised. About 2 years ago, the pitch was that for approximately $200K (I can't remember the exact amount) you would get 8 - 10 weeks in one of the units. What a deal!

RiverWalk, in Freeport, has also recently lowered the chain across the driveway, to let in a worker or two.

Is this the big building being built in front of Magnolia Cottages. I think that's a beautiful little community and it would be too bad if this is in front of that community. I'll have to assume that if it is in front of Magnolia Cottages, it will in time get finished and will be lovely, though it's hard to wait and it's hard to be facing the unknown. If this is not the community, where is it?

That's the one, Paula.

The contractor walked off the job after not being paid and the project obviously stopped immediately.

I was just given word from a reliable source that the project should be in full swing soon. I so hope this is true!!!

Magnolia Cottages by the Sea is a very nice development but that monstrosity in front of it doesn't do it any justice. Pity the folks who live near the front that have to look at that all day long.

it should give the homeowners nice shade.

Also heard from good source should start work again soon.

Ditto. Another eyesore relic from the go-go days.

Plus they have really done a number, damage wise, on the 30A roadway area right in front--hope the county makes them pay for it!

Too bad it's in front of Magnolia Cottages. It really is a lovely small community. As long as they finish it and it looks nice at some point and gets people in it (I realize this will take time), people will get used to it. I agree it would have been better without it, but let's hope (and I think) something attractive (I realize that's a matter of taste) is going to be better than what's there now, especially if there's no going back. And some would also say the bigger buildings in Seaside town center are an eyesore as well, other people like them, and other people are simply getting used to them. If there's no going back, I say finish up the building, make it look good, and move on (or tear it down). What else can one do?

I kind of like the building with the big drive thru, but only as a finished product. Though, I'm wondering how bright it will be from the third floor looking down on the southern exposure of all of the metal roofs.

The artist rendering of the finished product is very nice.

They had advertised for a rental manager/CAM some time ago, but I guess that is another job put on hold.

During summer season last year I watched a poor schmuck, who must have been staying behind there, negotiate a path around two lulls, a pile of debris, under scaffolding etc.. all while carrying the beach stuff for the 3 little girls trailing him.

It got pretty hairy over there, especially when they had one lane closed. The worst were the construction workers that would just blindly back out at the end of the work day. :shock:

Not sure if this is current, but I did find this ...
