What's Up at Prominence?

Re: Prominence

Any idea what the prices are? I agree they need to price it right to move it considering the lack of beach access.

Scooter, I can see "some" resemblence of the exterior looking like parts of Baytowne (new orleans look), but if you think that those row houses look anything like WaterSound Beach homes, I think you need some glasses. The picture throws off the true look as seen from the road.

Prices? At the first public meeting the developers held, they had envisioned all economic levels, such as "school teachers" being able to afford the smaller row houses on the north side of 30A (not yet built). I called B.S. at that public meeting, and about 130 people (mostly other Realtors) gasped. I guess I was wrong, eh?

I thought it was supposed to look like something from New England?

Egg Zachery. That is why the Low Country look of the interiors is really out of place, and I do love me some Low Country look.

Maybe they will have New England type witch hunts and dunk people in the moat to see if they are witches...

I was making the Watersound parallel based on Prominence also using the New England "shingle style" and all the curved corner brackets in the picture. Like many of the local developments it's a mish-mash and a misrepresentation of the original vernacular. (Sure glad they've got those steeply pitched roofs to keep the snow off - I hear it's a big problem here in the panhandle) Once again a misplaced regional style becomes the marketing device for a McMansion.

Re: Prominence

yeah WaterSound has some New England themes, but it feels nautical and has a beachy, whismical feel to it as well. Also much warmer inside.

these look like mcmansion townhomes that you would find in a Boston suburb.

imo...they look like complete crap (although i can tell the construction was expensive) and i think they will struggle to move at their list prices.

that being said i wish them all the best

Re: Prominence

I think part of it is the fact that it is still under construction. When it is all completed w/ the same variety of decor and traffic as you find everywhere else I don't think you'll notice a difference. I think the Prominence construction quality is higher than that of Watersound or Watercolor.

Well, I can tell ya one thing: they didn't leave any trees for any hangings.

possible higher quality than WaterColor...very very doubtful higher quality than WaterSound Beach...that would be extremely difficult as they spared no expense in that development
