Property Development World

Well, we felt that it was about time our inimitably good taste in terms of selecting the most sumptuous, exciting and down right gorgeous property developments was recognized – and thankfully someone else agreed with us…this is why we’re able to present for you today a property development that pretty much no one else knows about!

Ha!  We’re getting exclusives for you now our dear readers because we care, and also because we know that you’re like us and you want to buy in at the beginning and stake your claim on the world’s best property projects.  Okay, so, today we have select and sophisticated Lake Tahoe resort condominiums in a location that’s so hot there’s actually steam coming off it (we made that bit up.)

In case you didn’t know there are millions and millions of public and private dollars being pumped into the total redevelopment of South Lake Tahoe on the California/Nevada border in the United States at the moment.  The entire region is being turned into a select and sophisticated tourism resort and so there are some exciting developments afoot. 

Basically this part of the world is geographically and environmentally blessed – there are breathtaking mountain peaks offering some of the best skiing in North America, there’s the gorgeous Lake Tahoe which has beaches and crystal clear waters, there are hiking and biking trails and what’s more, the weather and natural delights mean that this is an area for all seasons and as a result, some wise spark had the idea to create an incredibly exciting property development here!

The development we’re focusing on is called The Chateau and it’s located in Heavenly Village (what a cool name) – this property development is not just about the condominiums for sale though – this development is about what the entire project is bringing to the Lake Tahoe region and in particular to Heavenly Village.

The development of select and sophisticated Lake Tahoe resort condominiums will see the construction of hotel style condominium type suites which are for sale freehold and which will allow the owner to own their very own five star holiday home in an incredibly stunning and exciting location.  These properties can be enjoyed by the owner who can call room service whenever he wants or they can be let out by the owner who can reap all the hotel type profitable returns!  Neat!

And in addition to the condominiums for sale at The Chateau, the entire mega development will see the construction and addition of everything from a massive convention centre, pre-function areas which can be used for festivals and fairs, exhibitions and less formal gatherings, a HUGE two storey spa with an outdoor pool, lots of great shops, plenty of restaurants, a landscaped park, pedestrian walkways to the nearby beaches, direct access to the ski gondolas for fast slope access, direct access to the nearby gaming centres for casino lovers and there will even be a waterfall, firepits, a pond and unique statues and sculptures dotted all over the place to make The Chateau a fantastically cohesive and congruent, charming and exclusive destination.

The properties for sale are designed on the five star, exclusive hotel suite theme – so think amazing bathrooms with tones of granite, huge picture windows, lush carpeting, plenty of space and all the delights that come with staying in a five star hotel such as a concierge, room service, maid service and so on – but you actually get to OWN this hotel suite!

This is a fantastic development and well worth a closer look…so visit The Chateau at Heavenly Village’s website and sign up for more information.

A brand new, state of the art and sumptuously lavish development of condominiums has been created in Walnut Creek which is one of the most popular suburbs of San Francisco and Oakland. 

These brand new homes for sale are in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay area and they boast a perfect blend of luxurious features and amenities whilst being in one of the most sought after locations in the entire greater Walnut Creek community.

If you want location, location, location and to live in lavish style and comfort then these are the condominiums for you!  Properties range from relatively compact one bed, one bathroom properties to condominiums featuring dens, three bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and clever, well thought out open plan living areas.

This particular property development has taken our collective breath away – we’re not entirely sure whether we are overwhelmed by the opulence of this Manhattan spa community of luxury condominiums or bemused and confused by the wealth of available amenities and facilities that residents of the Miraval Living development will have unadulterated access to.

So, how do you fancy living in a sumptuously designed home in a 41 storey building on the Upper East Side?  Each condominium affords residents stunning views across the city skyline and over the river from the oversized windows which make each apartment dramatically and vibrantly light and airy – or residents can step out onto their terraces and balconies and take in the atmosphere of Manhattan as well as the breathtaking scenery.

Sounds good so far…but the views are just a tiny feature of this amenity rich spa community of luxury condominiums. 

The lifestyle home resort is called Miraval Living, and each resident who buys an apartment within the community will be assigned their very own Miraval Inspired Living Consultant when they take up residence.  Their personal consultant will work with them to help them tune their inner essential balance with a combination of lifestyle adjustments taking in nutrition, relaxation, fitness and self discovery through creative arts and fun in a bid to inspire the life you were meant to live – apparently…although a quick glance at a Miraval Moments Lifestyle Guide for a typical resident has them getting up at 5.30am on Monday to meditate which would rather rule us out.

But whatever – this is certainly a unique concept in terms of a brand new property development honed and enhanced to attract a certain type of affluent and lifestyle aware purchaser.

Condominiums for sale range from one bed one bath, simple but attractive spaces, to opulent three bed, two and a half bath apartments, and all residences have access to the wealth of onsite features – for example you can visit the private, residents’ only spa or order in treatments such as a desert rain scrub or a trager psychophysical integration treatment.  You can enjoy one of the largest private gardens in Manhattan where residents are invited to take on Miraval Living’s ‘Quantum Leap’ and challenge assumptions and learn to live in the moment.  There is an onsite creative arts studio, a garden café, a fitness centre that incorporates everything from cardio and strength machines to a climbing wall, yoga garden and Pilates studio, there’s a swimming pool featuring a ‘dive in’ movie theatre, two soak tubs and of course the aforementioned spa featuring signature Miraval Living treatments.

If you’re inspired by the thought of living in such a well thought out, innovative community or if you’re just intrigued enough to take a closer look and try and figure out what a trager psychophysical integration might do for you, the Miraval Living, Manhattan spa community’s website is http://www.miravalliving.com/

An incredibly ambitious and luxurious project has just entered the first stages of development on Watson Island in Miami - and when it reaches completion it will offer fractional ownership of marina property to the fortunate few who get in early and secure their idyllic apartment at Island Gardens.

Island Gardens is a project to develop a super yacht marina as well as an exclusive and substantial waterfront and garden community in Miami, Florida.  The entire development will comprise of everything from hotels, a spa, superior retail outlets, multiple fine dining opportunities, bars, cafes, residential units, tropical gardens and a maritime museum and gallery.

The Island Gardens development by the Flagstone Property Group is the realization of a long-held company vision to create a waterfront community to emulate those in St. Tropez, Monte Carlo, and Monaco.  The attention to detail for the creation of every single element of this development has been incredibly intense and no expense is being spared relating to any element of the project meaning that future fractional owners can be satisfied that they will be investing in a unique and flagship development.

The fractional ownership properties for sale are large condominiums with stunning panoramic views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline.  The fractions are divided into seven parts allowing owners the chance to buy a luxurious holiday retreat, benefit from world class hotel type services without either the hassle of having to manage a property asset long term or pay hotel prices – what could be more perfect?

Island Gardens will contribute substantially to the desirability of Miami.  It will provide the first facilities to deal with mega yachts so that Miami can now compete with luxury destinations in the Caribbean for example and it will give residents, visitors and the general public a wealth of superior civic amenities from museums and art galleries to incredibly lush and beautiful landscaped gardens and social areas.

This project is unique - it is most likely one of the best investment opportunities to present itself in 2007, it offers buyers the chance to own and fully enjoy a piece of a sumptuous project for a fraction of full freehold ownership price…and best of all, those who buy today can take their pick of the very best located condominiums available for sale.  Check out http://www.flagstonegroup.com/ for more information about this particular project of theirs.

Finally, after a long drawn out and at times bitter battle to get full, unadulterated permission to construct some of the most luxuriously appointed serviced apartments in the world on Long Island’s Gold Coast, Ritz Carlton have won full approval and construction is set to get underway in Spring 2007 with the first properties going on the market in January 2007.

Now, if you want location, location, location you need never look any further than this ultimate property development.  Ritz Carlton, The Residences, North Hills is a brand new development of apartments just twenty miles from Manhattan – we’re talking New York here guys!  NEW YORK!

So, imagine this – if you move faster than the speed of light you will be able to buy into one of the most exciting and well located property development projects in the world.

If you want a property development that in terms of success will outlast any other business or investment decision you, your children and their children ever make this is probably it!  The development will consist of around 244 fully serviced apartment units on 17 acres of land that is situated right between the Long Island Expressway and the Northern State Parkway meaning that the development is so readily accessible and so well located that it is a veritable miracle that some billionaire didn’t just buy the site and build an exclusive home on it!

Within the development residents will have access to everything from indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, a fitness suite, a private member’s only dining room, a ballroom (how would one live without one?!), a media centre, private lounges, private gardens, landscaped grounds – and if all that isn’t enough you’re in the right place for the country’s top schools, you’re close to golf courses and did we mention that you’re just twenty miles from Manhattan which is the commercial, financial, and cultural center of New York?

How could you NOT want to live at the Ritz Carlton development The Residences North Hills?  Seeing as their site is pretty empty right now, try contacting Midtown Equities which is associated with the construction of the development you can call them on (212) 812-5070 or try the Ritz Carlton contact form.

Well, we can guarantee you’ve never seen anything quite like this before – the opportunity to own ten acres of a lovingly restored and preserved 1,700 acre ranch in central Oregon on which you can have up to two acres given over to the construction of a private residence designed by an award winning architect and which will be constructed in the inimitably beautiful Tuscan/Napa style.

If you fancy living in your very own national park then Ranch at the Canyons could be the ultimate opportunity for you – we’ve totally fallen in love with the location, the concept, the home designs and the lifestyle opportunities and we think you will too…

About ten years ago partners Jim Gardner and Mick Humphreys bought up 1,700 acres of a run down and ruined ranch deep within the stunning countryside of Oregon near to the town of Terrebonne and then they dedicated the next ten years of their working lives to the complete and uncompromising preservation of the ranch’s farmland, vineyards, orchards, meadows, rivers and waterfalls and as a direct result of their incredible commitment they have created paradise on earth.

Sorry if that sounds a little over the top but you have to visit Ranch at the Canyons website to truly believe what Jim and Mick have managed to create.

Today the ranch is perfectly preserved, it cannot be spoiled, over-grazed, damaged or exploited and as a result indigenous flora and fauna are to be found across the ranch in abundance making it an unofficial national park and one in which you can now own a home!

For sale are just sixty ten acre parcels of land – each has unique views, characteristics and features and within the grounds of each the owner can construct their very own, customer designed and expertly built Tuscan/Napa style home (an example of such a property is pictured above).  The buyer of the mini ranch will have freehold ownership rights of their property and will have to sign a Tenancy in Common Interests Agreement for the lifetime preservation of the integrity of the entire property.

The plots are being sold off in phases with phase one almost sold out.  Names of the mini-ranches currently available capture the unique qualities of each parcel of land – you have the likes of Sunstone, Balancing Rock, Hidden Canyon and Lake Overlook…and if you want to secure your very own piece of this incredible project you need to move incredibly fast.

Visit the project’s website here: - http://www.ranchatthecanyons.com/ and spend time getting to understand the vision of the ranch’s owners and the lifestyle you will be buying into – then when you’re ready to find out more you can contact Coldwell Banker First Resort Realty via the site as they are representing the sales of each available plot and will personally assist you with the inspection, selection and purchase process – all we ask is that you invite us to your housewarming party!
