North Beach Plantation Towers

The Hoffman Group recently unveiled plans for the development of its luxurious North Beach Towers at North Beach Plantation in Myrtle Beach. The oceanfront 7&1/2 acre project will offer spectacular Myrtle Beach condos for sale providing a great opportunity for either real estate investors or those looking to stay as well. The North Beach Towers assures becoming one of the most spectacular developments to be constructed on the southeastern coast.
“Situated on one of the last remaining significant parcels of pristine property on the East Coast, it is not difficult to see why there has been such an intense response to North Beach,” says David Hoffman, chief executive officer of The Hoffman Group.
The architectural design of the North Beach Towers is modeled to resemble the world-famous “Atlantis” Resort located in the Bahamas and reflects a style of architecture reminiscent of the coastal southern cities such as Savannah and Charleston. The North Beach Towers will contain two astonishing twin towers connected with two arches, which will offer some of the most magnificent outlooks upon the Atlantic Ocean. Within the upper arch on the fourteenth floor will be a restaurant and bar two stories tall surveying the Atlantic. At the base of the North Beach Towers, also overlooking the ocean, will be an amazing 2&1/2 acre water park of Caribbean-style, featuring a variety of fountains outdoors, a lazy river, swimming pools and spas, and also a pool bar. The floorplans of these luxurious twin tower condos will comprise a variety of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom lodgings as well kitchens and bathrooms, and each condo contains its own ocean view. Some the condos’ features will include 9-foot ceilings, 8-foot solid doors, a double-door entrance, kitchen and bathroom counter tops of granite, state-of-the-art appliances, customized cabinets, spacely walk-in closets, porcelain tiled entryways, large oceanview balconies, and inbetween-unit walls insulated for sound. All Myrtle Beach vacation condo rentals will contain special features of owner storage closets within the units, enclosed and centrally positioned entryways, wireless internet communication capabilities, and accessible oversized speedy elevators.

MYRTLE BEACH OCEANFRONT CONDOS TOWER PLANNED

On 48th Avenue South, the former Barefoot Camping Resort is being replaced. Soon, the residents will see a Myrtle Beach oceanfront condos tower and single-family homes being built there. To the tune of 56.4 acres of Myrtle Beach properties are being rezoned from mobile homes to planned-unit development.
Myrtle Beach SC real estate property owner Barefoot Partners LLC plans to build 873 single-family homes on the property. Not to mention the office and retail space that will be made available. They also plan restaurants and resort amenities including swimming pools. One hundred and sixty-five feet is currently the maximum height on the oceanfront. But the oceanfront towers will change all that. It will become the city’s tallest building with a height of two hundred and sixteen feet.
Of course, the council didn’t approve this rezoning request without conditions. The developers must increase the space between the Myrtle Beach vacation homes from 8 feet to 10 feet. Limit the number of bedrooms to five in each unit and to develop a public beach access walkway to the beach. At first, the developers wanted to build a boardwalk around the White Point Swash near their property. But council members disagreed, saying that a boardwalk would be too hard to get to. To enhance public access, as well as handicapped access, the developers agreed to pay 2.25 million to the city.

MYRTLE BEACH CONDOS SELLER BOUGHT BY DEVELOPER

The leading Myrtle Beach oceanfront condos marketing companies, the Hoffman Group has bought been bought by local developer Casey Shroff. The deal was announced Wednesday to the employees, bringing some of them to tears. The former owner of Hoffman Group, David Hoffman was the bearer of the bad news. Thirty-five agents and fifteen staff members comprised the company and is looking to expand more into Myrtle Beach real estate as it invests in technology, company officials said.
Hoffman was quoted as saying “ I’ll be CEO for three to five years and Shroff’s energy will be a great addition to the company”. Both Shroff and Hoffman added that the change would be seamless and the company name will remain the same. The Hoffman Group sold Myrtle Beach properties up to 450 million in 2005 and has a 500 million goal this year. Neither Shroff nor Hoffman will comment on how much the deal is worth. Since the two of them met in 1999, they have teamed up on many projects. Shroff said, “He and Hoffman are complete opposites. He likes the financial side of the operation, while Hoffman enjoys the creative part of it.
In 1984, Hoffman came to Myrtle Beach and started the Hoffman Group. He says, “When no one was selling Myrtle Beach vacation homes on the ocean, we did, taking the market by storm in the 80’s”. Shroff was very adamant about the fact that the employees are the main asset when you by a service company.
An employee who has been with the group since it began, says his only concern was what changes lie ahead. The fundamentals of business changes anytime corporate structure changes.
