Sales sizzle as homebuyers get their first glimpse of "The View"

The Villages on Mount Hope Bay is the most exciting new residential development in coastal New England, and initial sales activity reflects the enormous appeal of this spectacular community.

Sales Director Maureen Fraser said that by mid September it was evident that the pace of sales would exceed initial expectations and is still gaining momentum. "Since our opening on July 1st, we've sold 35 homes - more than 50 percent of Phase One - and, while there are still great home sites available in Phase One, we're already beginning to sell homes in Phase Two.

"It's very exciting to see the enthusiasm of visitors," she said. "When people arrive, they're amazed at the beauty of the location and the quality of our home designs. Besides attracting residents from Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island who are familiar with the breath-taking Rhode Island coastline, we're also attracting buyers from as far away as Colorado, so we know we have something special," Maureen added.

Robert Cole, a managing partner of The Collaborative Companies, the project's exclusive sales and marketing firm, confirmed that sales are strong and interest is still growing. "Our buyers are very educated consumers who know what they want. Most have been looking at numerous residential developments throughout the Northeast and they tell us ours is 'the best.'

"I've been marketing new homes for 20 years and I've never had a site that offered such an opportunity - 97 acres on the water. Quite frankly, I don't think I'll see such an opportunity in New England again," he noted.

Cole said the 290 condominium residential community is attracting plenty of buyers who want to live by the sea. He expects the sales pace will continue right through the fall and winter and escalate more as new amenities are added to the site. "This is an exceptionally beautiful setting, with homes and village amenities designed and built by one of the most outstanding development teams ever assembled," he concluded.
