The Lagoon continues to take shape with the smaller lounging island now separated and landscaped with tall palms and lush ground plants, instantly transforming the neighborhood vistas. The larger lounging island is currently being landscaped and will be separated next week, providing a glimpse of the relaxed way of island and marina life to come.
Along the shoreline, Lagoon Villas continue to take shape. We have eight Villas currently under construction, with a ninth due to begin shortly. The peninsula for villas 13 to 18 is being shaped, ready for ground-level construction to start in the next weeks.
Along the oceanfront, we have seen Ocean Estate 16 take its next step in the build process. Following the serenity pool, the floor slab is now in place, and ground floor walls are under construction.
July 1st will see the commencement of an iconic Reef Villa at Lot 17, and subsequently following are three further stunning Shoal Villas at Lots 11, 12, and 15. These spacious homes will feature generous indoor and outdoor spaces and direct access to the ocean. The Bluff Villa with its unmistakable pool is beginning to emerge from the Iron Shore and take its place within this breathtaking neighborhood.
The Boathouse peninsula is currently being raised to floor slab level in preparation for construction to begin in August. The build will then commence, creating 38 townhomes with private docks and a central landscaped garden and pool area. We can’t wait to see The Launch take shape over the coming months.
The yacht basin, adjacent to the Boathouses, is being excavated and nearing completion in preparation for boating access.
It seems just a moment ago that excavation began, but now we can look out over the swimming lagoon waters and get a real sense of the vistas from the homes that surround. The waterway has been connected from the ocean, and the turquoise waters of the lagoon never cease to amaze. The shaped lagoon beach now slopes gently, embracing the Malibu-styled raised decks and pools of each home. The two lounging islands are taking shape and are almost ready for their tropical landscapes peppered with relaxing cabanas.
Around the lagoon, the staged progression of the Lagoon Villas continues – a community taking shape. While Lagoon Villas 4, 7 and 12 continue towards their completion later this year, Villas 3 and 5 have been recently added to the active sites. Every month will see more changes as new villas emerge from the shoreline.
At Shoal Villa 8, the windows are now in place and the exterior tiling of the building appears like an elegant monolith emerging from the natural limestone. The stunning outdoor spaces, the courtyard in the center of the house, the multiple pools and terraces reveal the unique indoor/outdoor lifestyle this villa will provide. The hand-carved steps leading to the ocean deck provide a glimpse of the water-focused lifestyle that encapsulates living at South Bank.
Following the completion of the Serenity Pool structure, Banks Villa 16 is imminently awaiting its floor slab completion. The wide orientation of the villa impressively reveals itself step by step. Construction of Dune Villa 3 has also commenced.
Ten of the Ocean Estate villas are now committed, forming a mix of Reef, Shoal, Banks and Dune Villas.
