[b]Prominence Plan[/b]

[SIZE=2][FONT=arial narrow][COLOR=#001e5e][COLOR=#001e5e]Prominence is located between Alys Beach and Water Sound on both the North and South side of 30A. Prominence planned offerings include single family homes, townhomes and tri-plexes. Several home designs are under development and are scheduled to be released for sale in early spring. Plans also include two large amenity centers featuring a pool, clubhouse, tennis court and spa.

The Town Center plans include a large covered event Pavilion – a central gathering place with a Cinema screen for movies as well as a stage for concerts and other events. There is also a S’Mores Fireplace nestled in the corner of the Pavilion area – a great place for kids - and harvest/picnic tables which offer a place to eat and/or watch events. In front of the Pavilion is a large Town Lawn. The Pavilion and the Town Lawn form the center of retail shops as well as restaurants/cafes and coffee shop. There is also space for a 4,000 square foot restaurant tucked on the Eastern edge of the property. The Prominence Town Center will soon be the new activity center for over 1,000 homes/homesites in Water Sound and Prominence. More information will be available as we announce our retailers and restaurateurs/cafés.

so basically dr Horton is going to flood the 30-a market with 450-600k homes that cost them $200k to build with the dirt cheap land they bought to build on.So If real estate slows they'll cut prices huge and flood the mkt with dirt cheap homes.30-a has never had a mass builder that can build tons of homes quick and change the inventory dynamics in months

Sounds great - do you have any commercial tenents yet? I'm always curious about new businesses coming to the area.

I just can't help but think of the traffic situation on 30A with these multi-developments being built....
Adam homes or DR Horton, I'm past it, there goes the charm. I was here in the early stages and enjoyed the beauty this area had to offer for many years.
I didn't want to believe the rumor Sandestin one day would implement 6 lanes. I wonder now if 30A will soon need 4?

We had bonfires in our front yards, let the air out of our tires and drove on the beach all the way to Destin, cruised the state trails on hayrides and 4 wheelers, walked around most all of the coastal dune lakes, and all drank at the same drinking hole....Ricks run-a-ground. Oh well, they call it progress.....I just feel fortunate I had the opportunity to explore the true wonders of Walton County "back in the good ole days". :wub:
I have to add there is still no place I would rather spend the rest of my life than right here at the beach!

30A lost a lot of it's "charm" years ago with Adams Homes and DR Horton having no part in it.

In addition to the filling in of the wharf pond, and on going work to complete the existing structures, foundations for 3 new homes have been constructed.  Does anyone have additional information on the project?
