February 25, 2008 -- Myrtle Beach, SC -- The Hoffman Group, Myrtle Beach’s Premier Oceanfront Property Specialists, today announced construction top-out of the 18-story Indigo and Jasmine Towers that will be the oceanfront anchor to North Beach Plantation.

Purchasers of the North Myrtle Beach luxury condos were treated to a Gala Weekend February 15-17 to celebrate the construction milestone, meet their new neighbors, and view the property. The Hoffman Group joined in the celebration welcoming nearly 200 buyers and their guests.

When The Hoffman Group began this Myrtle Beach condos for sale program, North Beach Towers promised purchasers the opportunity for exclusive oceanfront living. Gala attendees were able to see that the reality will exceed the promise!

From the stunning architecture featuring an arched entrance joined by bridges at the 13^th-14^th levels and also on the 3^rd level, to the attention to finishing details like crown molding, developer Winchester North Beach Towers has worked diligently to provide options that will allow North Beach Towers to surpass any other oceanfront resort in the area…and perhaps on the East Coast.

Elements such as an unprecedented array of water facilities including a spectacular 2.75 acre water park, a swim-up pool bar, private cabanas and substantial indoor water amenities combine with the natural beauty of the oceanfront 7.5-acre site to reinforce the exclusivity of these luxury condos. Located at the southern end of the city of North Myrtle Beach, SC, the North Beach Towers offer a total of 320 villas in 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom single level plans plus a 3-bedroom townhouse option. 

All units are oceanfront and feature nine-foot ceilings, double door entry, granite kitchen and bath counter tops, custom cabinets, upgraded appliances, large walk-in closets, sound insulated walls between units, porcelain tiled entry, kitchen and bath, and floor to ceiling glass opening onto massive oceanfront balconies. These North Myrtle Beach luxury condos for sale are sold unfurnished allowing each purchaser to customize their “Beach House in the Sky” to their own taste.

Construction on the Towers started late 2006. Closings are anticipated in January 2009.

The North Beach Towers will be the first completed phase in the North Beach Plantation planned development that covers more than 60-acres from Hwy 17 to the oceanfront. The exclusive resort community will offer a variety of housing options, world-class spa, fitness and conference center, boutique retail space and exciting dining options and is estimated to have a $1 billion economic impact to the North Myrtle Beach area when completed in approximately five years.

Myrtle Beach Shoreline has received its Certificate of Occupancy

the Beautiful New Sandy Beach Resort

September 19, 2007 - Myrtle Beach, SC – The new construction, Phase II condominium tower of the Sandy Beach Resort has received a Certificate of Occupancy from the City allowing unit closings to begin. The oceanfront resort is a brilliant architectural achievement with purist modern lines, cantilevered angled supports, curved glass fronts and “wave” design elements. Designed by Mozingo+Wallace Architects LLC, the new tower and a façade over the original tower combine to deliver a unified magnificent update to the Ocean Boulevard view. The original Phase I building with 78 total units, opened in Spring 2000 and has continued to operate throughout the construction process.

Released for pre-construction sales in 2005, the new tower offers a total of 150 one, two and three-bedroom condominiums and represents over $65,000,000 in sales volume. General Contractor, R.J. Griffin & Company, a JE Dunn Construction Group Company and leading national multi-unit contractor, is completing minor site improvements that will allow the building to be open for vacation rentals by October 1, 2007.

“This is truly the most innovative architectural design Myrtle Beach has ever seen,” said Steve Edelman, COO of The Hoffman Group. “More exciting,” he continued, “the developer has taken extra steps to make the unit interiors equally impressive and these factors combined are making purchasers eager to close, despite the national weakness in the real estate market.”

Individual units feature a Proprietary Custom Furniture Collection by American of Martinsville, custom lighting, original artwork, granite countertops in kitchen and bath, stainless steel appliances, tiled entry, washer/dryer, custom bedding, and an elegant color palette for upholstery, carpeting and wall treatments.

The Fall 2007 delivery of the Sandy Beach, Phase II and the upcoming Dunes Village Resort Phase II marks a total of 20 new construction towers that The Hoffman Group has brought from pre-sales to opening since the Sandy Beach Phase I delivered in May 2000. The market for Myrtle Beach oceanfront condominiums therefore remains strong and vibrant for second home purchasers, particularly those who participate in onsite rental management programs for these popular oceanfront resorts.

Developed by Ocean Development Properties, Inc., the Sandy Beach Phase II project team includes Mozingo+Wallace Architects, LLC as architect, R.J.Griffin & Company as General Contractor, The Hoffman Group as exclusive sales and marketing, and Shroff Development Company as Project Advisor.
