Developers Tony Troppe and Todd Ederer are throwing a neighborhood cookout from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday for a neighborhood that doesn’t exist yet.
Look for the smoke of grilled brats and burgers at two model homes on Hickory Street near the intersection of Memorial Parkway.
Weather permitting this morning, crews will begin pouring a sphalt on the new streets of the 70-home neighborhood off Hickory Street.
On Thursday, workers were bringing the broken rock beds up to grade between the newly hardened concrete curbs. Other workers were trimming trees to spruce the place up as much as possible, considering most of the site is bare earth.
"We’re setting the stage for things to come," Troppe said.
The model homes – a cream colored, two-bedroom Greek Revival-style based on the original Mustill store and a three-bed-room, sage green Craftsman – will be open for tours.
Both models sell in the mid - $200,000s, depending on amenities.
Troppe says a few more homes are slated for construction this summer and a few more this fall and winter. He anticipates building 12 to 20 homes per year. |
