(February 19,
2007) Visitors to last weekend’s Birmingham Boat
Show were treated to the premier of Smith Lake’s newest
upscale condominium development, Emerald Point on Smith
Lake.
“We were very pleased by the positive response to our
project,” said developer Melinda
Edwards of Smith Lake Condominiums LLC. “In fact, we were a
little overwhelmed.
There were times when we could have used a lot more people
to answer questions and
take names of those requesting pre-construction sales
packages.”
The five-day event at the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center
showcased hundreds of
vendor booths to thousands of visitors. “This is quite an
event for anyone interested in outdoor water recreation,”
mused Edwards. “Unfortunately, I was so busy with the
Emerald Point Condo booth that I didn’t have a chance to see
any of the other
exhibits.”
Edwards said the positive feedback was gratifying, “We were
aiming for an upscale condominium development for the
discriminating condo buyer. This lets us know we are right
on target.”
Phase one of the proposed gated development will be a
54-unit, six-story structure featuring a rustic cedar-shake
and Eldorado stone exterior. Units will come standard with
fireplaces, granite countertops in kitchen and bathrooms,
expansive terraces with sunrise view, dry storage space for
a boat and a host of other features. The proposed Smith Lake
condo development will also have boat docks, fishing docks,
valet boat lauching and swimming pool with pavilion.
Up to three other phases are planned for the proposed $100
million condo project on the
Ryans Creek arm of Smith Lake. Birmingham-based Brasfield
and Gorrie will be the general contractor. Projected
completion date will be 12-14 months after beginning
construction.
“Interested parties should request a pre-construction sales
package now,” Edwards said.
“Judging from the boat show, this phase will close very
quickly.”
