Of course they are doing it for money. I only said that their main focus was on building a liveable, viable town.

This is what you wrote,
"the developers are interested more in building a quality town than in making money."

Come on and give me a freaking break.

I guess that would be like saying the same thing about St Joe.

I know what I said, I don't need you quoting me. Yes, I said MORE interested in building a quality town than in making money. I didn't say they weren't interested in making money. There are a lot of things they could do differently to make MORE money than they already are, but they aren't. They could develop a town with bad design and and crappy buildings and still sell them for the same price.

Well, since we'll be living about 1/3 mile from Alys beach, does anyone have any idea whether they'll have theatre, coffee shops, and other things that we can walk to? And by when? Thanks.

Hey Paula,

I don't think Alys will have a theater. They will have a whole town center similar to Seaside and Rosemary, but it should be viable, and they plan to have it completed before most of the homes are. The town center should start opening up, in phases, in about 3 years. Many people have approached Alys about obtaining commerical property there. No decisions have been made on the exact businesses. There will be a coffee shop, newsstand, and market for sure.

There will be a 16 screen Rave in PCB at Pier Park.

An 80-acre project near WaterSound (Arvida project on East end of 30-A) that runs north and south of 30-A will include a large retention pond that will create a "harbor". The new development, Prominence, is billed as a town where people can live, shop and work, and is planned by the same firm that planned Sandestin's Baytowne Wharf. The planner is copying elements from Nantucket, Mass., in an attempt to complement the New-England-themed WaterSound community. Prominence will include a theater with a balcony that will be used for live performances, and movies. There are plans for a soda fountain across the corner with a bank nearby.

When they say "Harbor" do they mean you can dock your boat and they get to the bay or gulf from the "harbor"? If so, I'm it!

Alys Beach will not have that water access to the Gulf for which you are searching. The original plans call for storm water runoff to create a "harbor like" effect. They are filled with too much horse fecal matter for this soul.

You mean "Prominence" - which apparently is a town built around a retention pond. I bet families will love it. I wouldn't be surprised to see people fishing there.

I hear you have to go through a couple of interviews to be eligible to get in the lottery for a chance to be chosen to buy property. I also heard that was a farce since friends and family are the only ones allowed to reserve and then most of it will go up for resale.
