| The Boardwalk on the Waterway ...is the newest Intracoastal Waterfront community in the heart of Myrtle Beach. Still in its pre-construction phase, The Boardwalk on the Waterway will consist of homes with Charleston-style architecture – slender two- or three-storey homes with spacious porches and brightly colored exteriors; pedestrian-friendly streets and convenient alleyways for parking; as well as wrought-iron accents enclosing hidden doorways or gardens. The Boardwalk on the Waterway will offer its residents a feature few communities have even considered – access to the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway by way of (what else?) a 6-foot wide boardwalk along the water’s edge. Other planned amenities include a landscaped, illuminated, gated entry with gatehouse, a beautiful interior lake, and a boat storage facility. The Boardwalk on the Waterwat is located near Fantasy Harbour, off of Highway 501, on the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway. Just minutes from numerous shopping malls and outlets, restaurants, live theaters and other entertainment venues, as well as the Myrtle Beach International airport, its ideal location offers Boardwalk homeowners comfort at home and conveniences just outside the gates. The Boardwalk on the Waterway does not enforce a building timeframe, so these homesites are ideal to hold in your real estate portfolio. However, if you decide to build, you can design the custom home you’ve always dreamed of, and have it built by your choice of contractor. Minimum square footage requirements and an Architectural Review Committee are in place to protect the integrity and price appreciation of the community. July 27, 2007 - The New "Live/Work" Craze Is About To Hit Myrtle Beach A walk around the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base shows a small city rising out of the ground as steel beams push into the sky. The Market Common, an urban village with 600,000 square feet of retail will open April 3, 2008. It will offer a walkable shopping and living environment with restaurants, parks, a grocery store and movie theater. Condos and townhomes will surround the village, allowing residents to never have to set foot in a car to shop or eat.
Investors, second-home buyers and even locals looking for something different are purchasing the 580 condominiums and 905 townhomes surrounding the retail village. But renters shouldn't feel left out. Above all the high-end retail will be 195 one- and two-bedroom apartments. Those will start renting in April when the village introduces itself to Myrtle Beach.
About 70 percent of the retail space is leased, and the developer is currently negotiating 27 more leases. If all those sign on the dotted line, Market Common will be nearly full, with just over 90 percent of the space leased.
Construction has begun on Tommy Bahama and will start soon for the movie theater, P.F. Chang's and the upscale Piggly Wiggly grocery store. Already construction shows the outline of a village with a Main Street and a public center. Construction on the three floors of apartments has also begun on the main retail strip. About 25 percent of the construction is complete.
Brick residential townhomes will surround Market Common. The first 25 carriage townhomes are already being built and should be ready for homeowners to move in by September, and more phases are coming. Buyers can choose from a live/work townhome, which offers office or retail space on the bottom with two floors of living space above, or two-story, residential-only townhomes. Live/work townhomes start at $345,000 and carriage homes from the $250,000s. There are also three-story row homes priced from the $250,000s.
Market Common will also have an office building on its edge, close to the Coastal Carolinas Association of Realtors building, with about 13,000 square feet of space per its three floors, which will be ready for occupancy in May.
