Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Located on Terry Cove in Orange Beach, Alabama, the Grand Harbour Development Site is one of the largest undeveloped properties on the bay. Comprised of 24+/- acres, this desirable waterfront property is currently permitted for 496 residential condominium units and a 108 boat slip marina. With over 850+/- ft. of shoreline coverage, Grand Harbour offers immediate access to the Gulf of Mexico.


All permits and riparian easements from the local, state and federal levels are in place, therefore construction can commence upon completion of final drawings and receipt of building permit from the City of Orange Beach, Alabama.

The project has received zoning approval from the City of Orange Beach, Alabama as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The PUD is approved as a multi-phase 4-tower project with a total of 496 condominium units. The current "as-designed" layout for the project has 488 units, thus providing space for an indoor pool in each of the four buildings. The two central towers have a total of 27 floors with 23 residential and 4 parking floors underneath. The outside towers have a total of 21 floors with 19 residential and 2 parking floors underneath.

A joint Alabama Department of Environmental Management/Corps of Engineers (ADEM/COE) permit for the project has been granted.

The marina for the project is currently designed and permitted for 108 boat slips for boats up to 65 ft in length in accordance with the Riparian Easement of State-Owned Submerged Lands (#05-12-08). The permit allows for the use of the submerged property for construction of concrete floating piers with two floating deck areas. Of the 108 floating boat slips, 12 of these, along with one of the floating decks, have already been constructed for the private use of the previous landowner.

The bulkhead along the southern shoreline of the property not only serves as the bulkhead for the marina, but also the southern curb for the access road around the project. Construction of this bulkhead is complete and all dredging of the submerged land to an average depth of 8 ft is complete.
