Gateway Expansion Tour this weekend

Mayor Mallory will be there to kick things off at 10am at the corner of 13th and Republic. The tour, which is free and open to the public, takes place tomorrow (5/30) and will last from noon to 4pm.

Those going will be able to tour the six new buildings being celebrated. The new units range in price from $140,000 to $350,000 with many boasting rooftop decks/patios that have spectacular city views.

So far the nearly $84 million of investment that has occurred, in the Gateway Quarter, has created 86 new condos (66 sold) and some 50,000 square feet of street-level retail space. This latest phase will bring an additional 106 new units to the neighborhood. Roughly 12% of these are already under contract.

SouthShore oozes luxury

The SouthShore condominium tower dominates the Newport riverfront with its Miami-esque design that features floor to ceiling windows and luxury amenities that can be found nowhere else. I was able to tour the building over the weekend and grab some pictures. So far about 65% of the building’s residential space has been sold with condos ranging from $300,000 to $3,000,000.

The tower is roughly 240′ tall with 17 floors of living space and 4 floors of parking. The amenities include a fitness center, a rooftop amenity deck that includes a pool, putting green, walking trail, gardens, sundeck and clubhouse. SouthShore was also recently approved for a 100-slip marina that will primarily serve residents but also be available for rent to the public.

There are 21 photos in the slideshow of the two model units, rooftop amenity deck, lobby and exterior.
