Artisan Homes held a groundbreaking ceremony today for the construction of its “Harbor View” 22 unit town homes project. Townhouses will be located between South 2nd & 3rd Streets in Fernandina’s historic downtown.
According to a Artisan Broker Robert Swanbeck, a furnished model is expected to be completed by the end of the summer with four additional buildings to follow. So far, six units are under contract.
Prices of the town homes range from $499,900 to $780,900. All units include a roof top deck.
Well I do hope they are successful with that project. I suppose I am out of touch on this, but I really question if I ever had 600,000 dollars to spend I would want to look across at some old warehouses, a giant papermill, parking lot and a broken down marina. Don’t get me wrong I love the town and I suppose your betting it will continue to transform. Still, you can buy a lot of wonderful places right now with that kind of money. I must admit I was a little surprised to see the new yoga studio being built is an industrial looking metal corrugated building. Right next to the supposed new $700,000 town house. Just seemed odd to me.
