The bond part of that was discussed above.
Defining amenities as those things that are built first and then stating that amenities are always built first is a bit circular, isn't it? Perhaps a better definition of amenities would be the pools, rec centers, and executive golf courses. And yes, with that definition some of them have been built first.
- Pools and neighborhood rec centers are likely completed before the homes are occupied
- Regional rec centers are not always completed first - Okahumpka Rec Center *might* have been opened before Richmond but certainly wasn't open before other neighborhoods close by
- I believe I saw in another thread that several golf courses are soon to be open. I suppose it's arguable whether they are Richmond amenities that were not completed first or whether they "belong" to the villages that are not yet completed.
But overall, much of the amenities are completed before homes are occupied.
There could be a longer discussion about expectations and where those expectations came from but that is probably best left to another thread.
