lofts of brownwood
 

they want the lofts to have all and full amenity's , I thought they would just have pool and that was it. they are going to have a special meeting to push it through.

They have always said that the Lofts would have full amenities.

Special meeting. When and where?? Or is this just pot stirring?

Wheels on the bus go round and round

Considering the Covid pandemic, you have to be nuts to live in a maximum density environment that will use an elevator to get to the upper levels--our nation will change forever

Yes they did.


The meeting is for: Community Development District 9 is being asked to amend its existing boundaries to take in the new Lofts at Brownwood.

read the online rag.

They look nice, but I wouldn't like apartment life.

It is not a special meeting, this is the regularly scheduled meeting of CDD-9, only those CDDs with time sensitive issues are holding their meetings this month.

Annexing The Lofts into a residential CDD is an interesting topic. These are not residential properties, they are commercial properties, just like the many assisted living and care facilities around The Villages. It would be not only nice but critical to know the details of what CDD9 will inherit with the annexation? Does the CDD now get to now take care of the parking lots in The Lofts since they're not public roads, just like villa roads? How will the commercial aspects of the rentals be addressed, homes are not allowed but a 12x12 sign in the front window when for sale, if what's good for the goose is good for the gander than there should be zero tolerance for any on property signage for rentals and that it's a rental community. Will the CDD have the same oversight responsibility and abilities over this commercial property as over residential property? How about the ARC when the developer wants to make changes? There are a lot of other unanswered The lack of full details on this is unsettling at best.

If this is done, what's next? The assisted living and long term care facilities? Why not also add in the Waterfront Inn, the Brownwood Hotel, and the hotels at Spanish Springs?

If by chance CDD-9 doesn't annex this property it would be only a small stumbling block, the next place it would would be CDD-13 with its "land owner elected" board, and we all know there is only one land owners so far in CDD-13, the same one who owns The Lofts.

This is a mistake, CDD-9 residents and all the residents south of CR466 should let the Supervisors in CDD-9 they should not approve this commercial property annexation into the residential CDD until ALL THE DETAILS are known. Why all the residents south of CR466 in addition to CDD-9 residents, because this would now treat commercial property as part of the common properties that fall under the Project Wide Fund and PWAC. We don't know the full financial impact, and until we do this annexation shouldn't happen.

Could I be wrong on some of these points, of course, but we can't tell right or wrong yet because the information and detail aren't available.

From Of Two Minds

Here's a partial list of commodities that are in Overcapacity / oversupply:

1. Overvalued assets

2. Overpriced income streams (as income craters, so will the asset generating the income)

3. Labor: low-skill everywhere, high-skill in sectors experiencing systemic collapse in demand

4. AirBnB and other vacation rental properties

5. Overpriced flats, condos and houses

6. Overpriced rental apartments

Because I am a long-distance cyclist, I'm seeing an explosion in the building of housing (of all types) being built west of TV.

Why will people spend the big bucks for a "Loft" apartment when apartments and rentals will be available within a short drive to all the Village's squares, shopping, restaurants, etc.

Lofts of Brownwood to have exclusive perks in addition to use of Villages amenities

Residents of the new Lofts of Brownwood will have exclusive perks in addition to full use of amenities in The Villages.

The topic was raised at Monday’s Project Wide Advisory Committee.

The Lofts of Brownwood will include 265 age-restricted apartment-style units. The residents of the apartments will their own private resort-style pool, clubhouse and fitness center. They will also have a dog park.

The discussion revealed that 100 percent of residents of the Lofts of Brownwood will have Villages amenities built into their rental fee.

Brisk progress continues on the lofts.

If I’m paying 5 grand a month for an apartment, I damn well expect full amenities.

But, they don’t pay amenities fee’s to districts. Which means moochers.

But, who are you paying the you’re amenities fees too?

To district I live in

The brochure says that you need to pay an amenity fee as a separate payment of $162. I assume that money is going to the same place as all amenity fees?
