Beacon Hill at Eastgate

[suydam]

This site has been a giant dirt field (with about 4-5 lonely looking trees) for awhile now. When I was by there about 2 1/2 weeks ago it didn't look like any activity was taking place.

So I looked into it a little bit and it looks like ownership of the land was transferred to Briar Hill at Eastgate earlier this month. It doesn't give a specific construction start date, but I don't see why they would be waiting too long.

If someone wants more info, feel free to stop at the sales center on Breton. They have a to-scale physical model in the Sales Center than will give everyone a great idea of the size of the project...

I'll see if I can post pictures of it or not...

Well the project is finally a go! Should be a TON of activity on the site from today til construction is completed! I'll drive by today and see if there is enough activity on the site to warrant a photo.

Some photos of the model and renderings from the Developer's Website:

My quick guess is a Tudor style. I'm not a huge fan, but a lot of houses and buildings in the general area of this project have a similar design. The intent was to blend in with the neighbors (so I've been told)

Is there an official "name" for this architectural style? Specifically, the white paneled exterior with the brown wood accents? I hate hate hate the style, probably because it always reminds me of an 1980s apartment complex (even if it's on a > $1M house). Hate it here, too, IMO it looks so cheap and tacky.

Yeah, there's an apartment complex off of Alpine that comes to mind.

Old Orchard Apartments - they were relatively new back in 1973 when 4 Mile Road was made 4-lane in front of them.
