Welcome home to Summerhouse On Everett Bay, a spectacular
new waterfront development located on the Intracoastal
Waterway just north of historic Wilmington, North Carolina. This sought-
after gated community offers a wide selection of real estate
opportunities including waterfront home sites and Intracoastal lots. The
community was designed around a 36 acre man – made lake
creating waterfront home sites everywhere the eye can see.

Clubhouse/Fitness Center Resort-Style Pool
Pocket Parks Boat Launch Facility
Two Tennis Courts Boat Storage and Day Docks
Playground Boardwalk and Walking Trails
Open Air Pavilion Fire Pit and Fishing Dock
36-acre Spicer Lake

Waterbridge will bring residents a resort-style community with
alluring coastal cottage style homes that focus on coastal
casual living. Waterbridge was designed to have over 80 acres of
lakes and natural areas throughout the property. Family friendly
sidewalks, a spectacular swimming pool complex like no other on
the east coast and restful pocket parks will offer the kind of
rejuvenation inspired by an island retreat getaway only you never
have to leave home.
Waterbridge was surely designed with water in mind. A 60 acre
central lake was planned for everyone's enjoyment. You can take
your electric boat out on the water and boat over to your
neighbors house for dinner. This property abuts the Socastee
Greenway which is part of over 120 acres of federally protected
woodlands surrounding this project. Waterbridge is located in
Carolina Forest Region of Myrtle Beach which is a master planned
region boasting the best schools in the area. Commercial retail
nodes are planned at strategic locations to support the smart
growth this popular area is drawing in.

This Springfield mixed use community offers southern-
styled, luxury custom homes and highly efficient, charming
golf villa packages. Families in this 640-acre community
built around the existing Springfield Golf course enjoy many
lifestyle choices such as grabbing some food or flowers at
the preserved fruit stand and orchard at the front of the
community. Here we kept the historic charm of the old
southern roadside market for the residents to enjoy. We
also re-designed the golf pro shop and Cart barn buildings
to accommodate the new residence. Also, next to the pro
shop is a planned cluster of townhomes that overlook the
driving range.
Nearly half the community is dedicated to open space,
including walking trails, sidewalks and parks. Plus, with its
2,300 acres and 32 miles of trails for walking, biking and
horseback riding, the adjacent Anne Springs Close
Greenway is a big part of life here along with the 5 acre
Amenity site which offers a full-time activities director who
plans year around events for everyone in the family,
ranging from movie nights to summer camp.

Myers Park City Homes was a highly successful planned infill project
placing duplex units in and around 200 yr old willow oak trees.
Driveways were planned carefully as well as guest parking spaces
so as not to effect the trees root systems. The only double Grand
Award winner this year, the Simonini Builders' project, Myers Park City
Homes in Charlotte, N.C., was a hit with neighbors who were
grateful to rid their community of the dirt yards and shabby rental
housing that once occupied the eight-acre site. The prime location
is near a hospital and on the edge of Myers Park, one of the city's
best neighborhoods. Although it was already zoned for duplexes, an
old deed restriction only allowed for a single front door to the street.
So architect Sam Greeson designed this high-density product to
look like single-family homes. Articulated with historical accuracy,
the stately brick colonials with white columns and black shutters
complement the surrounding neighborhood. Simonini and planners
also preserved 63 mature willow oaks on the site. "The architecture is
exactly what the homeowners association was looking for and what
the zoning would allow," says builder Alan Simonini. "Everyone I run
into compliments us on how it's improved the neighborhood."

When you live at The Point, you're on a permanent vacation. Inspired by Nantucket
architecture, The Village and community facilities complement the casual Lake
Norman setting. The country club lifestyle, a full-time activities director and The Point's
many amenities offer year-around enjoyment to residents of every age.
Life here revolves around the water. More than 500 families have already made their
homes along the 18 miles of shoreline. Most residents enjoy beautiful views of the
water from their homes, while many others are nestled along the fairways of the golf
course. More than two-thirds of the holes of this Greg Norman-designed course play
along or over the lake. And, Our Lake Club has become one of the most sought-after
destinations in the region for wedding receptions and corporate gatherings. It can
accommodate seated gatherings of 300 people in the spectacular waterfront setting.

Cutter Bay, located in the center of North Carolina's famed Inner Banks,
is a boating, sailing and yachting paradise. Just a short drive outside
Historic New Bern, NC, Cutter Bay boasts 891 home sites surrounded by
water. The property itself is a peninsula nestled between Trent Creek
and the Bay River that flows directly into the Pamlico Sound, an area
known for its great boating waters.
The centerpiece of this 577 acre planned gated community is the
magnificent 50-acre Harbour Lake. This lake serves as the backdrop for
many of the community's home sites as well as the inland marina,
harbor, unique boat launch and boatlift.
The amenity peninsula, which sits along the waterfront of Harbour
Lake, is the perfect location for Cutter Bay's magnificent clubhouse and
center stage for marketing to passing traffic. The marina and amenity
island was strategically placed up front in areas that would not be the
best home site locations being so close to the hustle and bustle of NC55
as well as to lure buyers into the community with long dramatic views
across the water to the raised coastal style club. This island was design
to offer a resort-style swimming pool, fitness center, tennis/sport court,
basketball and sand volleyball court and a children's playscape area.
The innovative boat lift system which we designed was certain to be the
first of its kind in that boats were lifted from the internal marina with a
sea lift and driven across the road and placed in the Bay River. This was
sure to be the softest impact on mother nature and its natural
waterways. The army corp of engineers and Coastal Area Management
Association considered this to be very much a pioneering effort in that
the inland marina never touches the Bay River waterway. This allowed
the developer to pursue a 1 year minor CAMA permit as opposed to a 3
yr major CAMA Permit for inland cut marina design layouts. Storm
water and grey water is treated on site and planned with
irrigation needs In mind.

The master planning and site design of The Sanctuary, an award
winning, sustainable, lakefront community was the first of its kind in
the Charlotte Region. This project involved the close integration of
sensitive land planning, and sustainable design principles from
shoreline/watershed protection to Green building design for the
club facilities. The John James Audubon Lodge was the first
recreational building in North Carolina and the first building in
Charlotte to earn LEED certification in 2006. Audubon International
awarded the project the worlds first Three Diamond Award in 2004.
and it was recently received multiple accolades in the local design
and business community including: Charlotte Business Journal’s
Green Award for “Green Land Development”, Best Eco-Friendly
Development- Charlotte Magazine and Mecklenburg County’s
“Sustainable Development Award”. Only 20 percent of the land
in the Sanctuary will be touched, resulting in wooded lots and
waterfront properties that average 5 acres, and which range from
just over 2 acres to more than 13 acres. Fewer than 200 families will
make this private community home. The commitment to protect this
1,300-acre nature reserve community affords residents both land
and water recreation in tranquil surroundings. The nature trails wind
for more than 20 miles through the natural areas near shore.
