Renaissance Ridge is in its third year of planning. We are still in the conceptual phase, but we are getting closer to being able to share more information about our builder and a project timeline. In the meantime, as a way to help clarify some misinformation, we wanted to share this update:
1) RR will be made up of two phases - 94 units in phase one and 42 units in phase two.
2) RR is planning to have only ONE entrance off of Rt. 151 that will be similar to the Stoney Creek entrance with white fencing and attractive landscaping.
3) There will be a southbound deceleration lane as part of the entrance.
4) The only official connectivity to Stoney Creek will be by way of walking/biking trails.
5) RR is working with a "high-quality" well-seasoned builder to ensure architectural integrity and green-friendly innovations.
6) RR homes will be made up of small cottages, townhomes, "Rosewood Village type" of attached villas, and modest sized single-family homes.
7) Livable space in these homes is expected to range from ~750 s.f. to ~3,000 s.f. The majority of the units will be less than 2,000 s.f. of finished space.
8) It is expected that approximately 60% of the homes will be single-floor living with at-grade entries.
9) RR along with the builder will be marketing the homes to the general market of retirees, families, first responders, local workforce, folks that might consider down-sizing, and professionals that work from home.
10) Homes will include state of the art "green" features along with options for "smart-home" technology and innovative energy-management systems.
11) RR is designed and formulated to be a year-round living community that promotes a healthy lifestyle and livable sustainability.
12) Renaissance Ridge owners will be required to comply with all Wintergreen Property Owners Association (WPOA) Covenants plus additional covenants for RR, pay annual dues (approximately $255,000 annually at current WPOA assessment rates), and have full access to WPOA amenities property rights along with the other property owners at Wintergreen (4,960 total Potential Units Wintergreen Master Plan).
13) RR is NOT being marketed to investors of short-term rentals. It should be noted that early on during the due-diligence phase, the Market Study revealed there was a trend in the area for Airbnb and VRBO development. RR perceived these rental platforms might be a way to offset the cost of living of owner-occupied homes with extra space. But when RR got feedback from its public presentations and discussions with community members, RR abandoned any notion of promoting Airbnb or VRBOs.
14) RR will be sharing additional information, photos of homes, updated site plans/renderings in the coming months.
15) The Renaissance Ridge website currently has conceptual renderings of the entrance and general layout of the neighborhood, but once the final plans are approved, RR will publish updated renderings and home designs.
