Looking good . . .

Site work is starting to roll in advance of new townhome construction.  “Poplar Park”, the pocket park adjacent to the triplex, has been freshened  and mulched, and custom benches are being installed.  The picket fences around the vintage Victorians are almost complete.  Next week we could see more iron railings, lighting, perhaps some more of the extensive landscape installation in the common areas.  It’s all a process, conforming to the “critical path” that Park and Planning and the Historic Preservation Commission laid out for the rezoning and site plan approval of this unique community in the heart of one of the oldest settled neighborhoods in Silver Spring.  Actually, it’s probably one of the oldest in the County (1889?  Gotta check on that factoid.)

All of this is to point out that the true character of the visionary planning is becoming more visibly apparent week by week.  In the past two days I have had four sit-down appointments with folks ready to write on the to-be-built homes and contracts are imminent.

Needless to say, the “early bird gets the worm.”  Lot selection will dwindle and prices WILL go up.  Trust me on that. 

Come visit!  Open this weekend for sure, 12-5.
