/newsletter/images/DSC00437.jpg Construction is coming along on schedule and on budget! Our construction crew is currently finishing framing on the third floor and has begun the fourth and final floor for this phase! Buy now to ensure your selections can be implemented - deadline for upgrades is November 1/2006. We are now over 50% sold so hurry in for the best selection of the remaining units, ranging in price from $250,000 to $350,000. Remember, this is pre-completion pricing that you won't see again. All units include six appliances, window treatments, Corian countertops in the kitchen and have a wide selection of upgrades to customize your unit.

You may be wondering why we chose Corian over granite. Through our research we felt Corian to be a superior product; it is a non porous surface, therefore, more sanitary than unsealed granite, it has inconspicuous seams which will not trap dirt nor absorb spills as compared to granite which has very visible seams and can actually crack along internal mineral seams. It also carries a manufacturers 10 year installed warranty which is fully transferable to future owners and is easily repairable should a scratch or cut occur. It is impervious to permanent marker, red wine, coffee, hair dyes, etc. and is heat resistant to up to 400* F. For you, the homeowner, this means a beautiful kitchen for years to come with minimum maintenance.
