• JANUARY 25, 2023 Update:

  • Our construction crew has appreciated the unusual warmer temperatures this month and it shows in the great progress being made. Day by day, the crew works all bundled up to shield themselves from the winter elements while not missing a minute of time on the site. Our hats go off to the entire crew for the extraordinary work they are doing!

  • Erecting the front exterior steel towers has been a key focus over the last few weeks and is coming along nicely. Exterior framing & trusses as well as interior unit framework will continue through the winter.

  • Concrete work is also in full swing. The east end of the lower level is almost complete with the winery production area currently being prepped for pouring. Grand Ballroom and event kitchen floors are scheduled to be done soon.

  • Sixty-six additional new, luxury residences are currently being constructed with projected occupancy in the spring of 2024, as planned. Due to high-demand and pace of sales, we have created a virtual sales event model to carry us through pre-construction, with a third of the new construction being sold within the first two events. If there are any questions, to include how these events work or when they are held, please contact the Real Estate Office in person or via our website.

  • Buildout of the RiverWalk Grand Ballroom event facility, in-house theatre/activities room and the new location for the Solstice North Day Spa expansion are coming along very smoothly. Cement will be poured starting next month in the new West Wing lower level where these grand new amenities will be located. This will be the last of the cement work needed to complete the new phase. Bookings for weddings and conventions in the Grand Ballroom will begin next summer. And, more details about the exciting spa expansion are coming soon!

  • The Seven Birches Winery expansion, which will include an increase of their current footprint to over 10,000 square feet, is coming together nicely. The new winery location will be more than 5 times the size of their current tasting room & commercial production facility.  The 4 new 26' tall, 3000 gallon wine/cider tanks were installed earlier this summer and the new production facility located on the lower level is going to be an extraordinary site to see. 

  • Although the pool area will not be changing significantly, plans are in the works to add a new 35+ person outdoor hot tub as well as additional pool furniture & sunshade to the area. Interesting side note to share…the new hot tub will be the largest one our pool company has ever installed.

  • Two new parking lots are being added to RiverWalk with work scheduled to begin on these lots later next Spring. The new lots will be located near the new west wing side entrance by Jean’s Playhouse. In addition to this, there will be additional landscaping & parking enhancements in the playhouse theatre area.

  

   

  

  

  

   

• November 11, 2022 UPDATE:

  A great time was had at our recent Expanding Extraordinary ceremonial Topping Off Celebration. It was a memorable day in the journey of our West Wing expansion.
  

  The practice of “Topping Off” a building can be traced back to the ancient Scandinavian rite of placing a tree atop a new building to bestow good luck on the future inhabitants of the structure. In order to celebrate and carry on this tradition, we will be placing a special steel beam within the grand entrance cupola that was signed at the event by those who played roles in bringing the vision of RiverWalk to life.

  There are 300 trucks worth of concrete supporting the steel framing of the West Wing which is now only 12 inches away from connection with the East Wing.

  Roof trusses will be completed next week to keep the coming weather out of the building.

  Grand Ballroom steel work is complete and you can now see and feel the enormity of the beautiful space where we will host extraordinary events.
