The $50 million development around the pier will include condominiums, a small convention center, another restaurant and a hotel. Four buildings are planned and will contain a mixture of condominiums and hotel rooms. The tallest could be eight stories, and they are designed to resemble the old Nansemond Hotel, the historic Ocean View hotel that once stood about 300 yards away. (obtained from the pilot) 3.) Pretty Lake Village Condominiums From the developers website: "Pretty Lake is an established community that is undergoing redevelopment. It is to the west of the new East Beach Community on Norfolk's Chesapeake Bay and provides a delightful contrast and destination for residents. Residents of the new village enjoy the deep channeled lake front access, with direct connections for boaters to large established marinas, marina amenities, and the Chesapeake Bay. Mature "live oak" shade trees, sculptural like in nature, address the small scaled neighborhood's rolling streets. The marinas, located further along Pretty Lake Avenue, create the back drop of a mixed use waterfront district. The architectural pattern of the 64 unit residential development combines traditional coastal details with innovative expressions of materials and color palettes."
