Bridgewater Saga Continues
The foreclosure auction for the Bridgewater Pointe condo project is scheduled for Tuesday, April 16th, although the developers claim to be in “negotiations” with BB&T to keep going.
Several posts ago I was talking about architecture “fitting” with its surroundings and in my opinion, these condos did not “fit” here in terms of architecture but also in lifestyle…people who buy high priced luxury condos are not usually the ones that like the laid back lifestyle here at Smith Mountain Lake…in fact, many people coming here are coming to get AWAY from that lifestyle…so it is no surprise to me that none of the units sold. I could go on a rant about how nobody here seems to look at any demographics when they decide to open a business here or build a project here (there are a few exceptions of course).
Since the building is already there, though, I would like to see someone buy it and at least maintain it…the thought of a crumbling, unkempt vacant structure there is not a good one…
