August 24, 2005
A pedestrian-friendly, beachside village that promises to redefine Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach, Fl – Seahaven Development, Inc. is proud to announce the Towne of Seahaven, a planned 52-acre pedestrian-friendly beachside village that promises to redefine Panama City Beach, Fla. Situated along the Gulf of Mexico, thecommunity promises to offer a resort destination experience unrivaled on the entire Gulf Coast.
Once completed, the community will offer a variety of residential opportunities, specialty retailers, restaurants, nightlife, spa, office and hotels built around the naturally existing wetlands and lake that frame the property.
“The Towne of Seahaven is our heart and soul project. The property was purchased by my great-grandfather and has been held in trust by our family since the 1920s and every family member is playing a part in the development of this community.” Said Neil Bennett, president of Seahaven Development Inc. “We want to create a place where both locals and guests of all ages can come and experience Panama City Beach at its best. It is our hope that the Towne of Seahaven will certainly change the face of not only Panama City Beach, but the entire Gulf Coast.”
Owned and operated by the Bennett family, fourth-generation Panama City Beach residents, the Towne of Seahaven is being developed by Seahaven Development, Inc., a respected development firm that has been creating coastal and near coastal communities along the Emerald Coast including Martinique, Finisterre, Bonefish Pointe and Sanctuary Beach. Seahaven Development, Inc. understands the importance of developing communities that respect the natural beauty and history of the land.
Seahaven Development, Inc. has partnered with Playground Destination Properties Inc., the listing broker for the community, as well as other nationally recognized land planners, architects, engineers, and designers. Playground, an Intrawest company, is the premier provider of sales and marketing services for resort real estate world-wide.
“Playground had overwhelming success with The Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort and the Towne of Seahaven will offer a similar experience, though unique to Panama City Beach. It will be a place where you can park your car and leave it, whether it’s for a day or for a week. There will be so much to enjoy,” said Lundy Crabb, Regional Director, Playground Destination Properties Inc.
Careful consideration has been given to the ‘right’ commercial tenant mix that will play a part in developing the core of the Towne of Seahaven. Intrawest is lending the expertise of The Village People, touted as the world’s best commercial village animation and commercial tenant casting specialists, in choosing only the most unique, charming and appropriate restaurants, boutiques, specialty stores, and entertainment venues for the Towne of Seahaven.
Among the eclectic mix of shops and eateries, a proposed state-of-the-art convention center will offer the only true business and conference center on Panama City Beach and will accommodate groups from 5 to 5,000 people.
Upon completion, the Towne of Seahaven will be comprised of a cluster of ‘communities within a community’ where both locals and guests can experience a year-round destination offering a sense of culture and adventure to Panama City Beach.
The first phase of luxury condominiums in the Towne of Seahaven is currently under development and will be ready for purchase in late 2005. The condominiums have been custom designed especially for the Towne of Seahaven and promise to offer a premiere destination experience in a distinctive village style community.
