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.
