Not long.
Right now, Renaissance Pointe is mostly about potential: What might happen when homes start going up – at least 30 a year, Presley hopes. But you don’t have to look very far to find concrete signs of progress.
Demolition of unsalvageable homes began this month, and next door to where Holman will live the city has spent about $140,000 to renovate a house using materials that are both “smart” and “green.” A computer touch-screen controls the alarm system and cameras and microphones in most rooms. Earth-friendly, energy-saving materials also were used where possible.
Presley knows the house probably won’t sell for that much, “but we wanted to demonstrate what you can do (in this neighborhood).”
It’s an important message. Later this year, an “Urban Parade of Homes” is planned for October – just one more indication the Hanna-Creighton neighborhood is on the move, thanks to “pioneers” like Holman and others who follow.
$400 Million dollars Renaissance Pointe? You be the judge.
Wonderful progress! That's always good because it can boost neighborhood pride and provide affordable housing to the people.
