THE RESIDENCES AT BULLE ROCK BREAKS GROUND ON COMMUNITY CENTER

HAVRE DE GRACE, Md. (Oct. 27, 2005) - The Residences at Bulle Rock broke ground on a 37,000-square-foot Community Center, designed to be the social and recreational centerpiece of the resort-style community.

“Our research and feedback from visitors and buyers indicates that lifestyle is the top factor in their home buying decision,” said Brenda Desjardins, a spokeswoman for the community.  “We have designed The Residences at Bulle Rock to include a deluxe Community Center and many additional amenities so our residents can live like they are on vacation every day.”

Although the Community Center is modeled after European hotels, its décor is inspired by local environmental elements and breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay, which will be visible throughout. The overall theme is casual elegance and comfort to enhance the year-round resort lifestyle offered at the Residences at Bulle Rock, which is being built around the five-star Bulle Rock Golf Course: home to the McDonald’s LPGA Championship.

UPPER LEVEL
Upon entry, residents will step into a foyer featuring creamy travertine stone floors and coffered ceilings. A niche inset into the wall will contain an inviting, terra cotta buckskin settee with linen pillows.  The conservatory will feature feminine terra cotta, ice blue and taupe hues, while the library will feature masculine chocolate and sage coloring.  The billiards room also will include masculine chocolate, terra cotta, sage and rust tones.

In crème and taupe colors, the ballroom will house a variety of functions including dances, meetings, crafts sessions, lectures, movies and major televised sporting events, and other fun activities arranged by the Community Center’s full-time lifestyle director.  A cyber café on the bayside will enable “wi-fi,” with laptop hookups by wood tables and upholstered chairs.

The gardenlike solarium will feature a built-in bar, and built-in seating areas with tables.  A slate floor and raffia accents will contribute to an outdoorsy feel.  Meeting rooms will include tables that can be grouped into a large conference table or separated into private discussion areas.  Residents also can mingle in the men’s and women’s card rooms or grab a bite in the café.

Decorated in terra cotta, chocolate and ice blue tones, the rotunda will feature a dome ceiling and a detailed wood floor.  This living room setting will offer a comfortable seating area overlooking dramatic views of the bay.  A grand staircase will lead to the lower level and outside to the putting green, bocce and tennis courts and pool.

LOWER LEVEL
A professionally-managed cardiovascular health and fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment will occupy the ground floor.  The space will comprise an aerobics studio, equipment room, sauna, steam room and golf training room.

When residents finish working up a sweat, they can soak in the indoor pool, relax in the massage rooms, rejuvenate in the day spa or quench their thirst in the juice bar.  Residents will have 24-hour access to the fitness center, so they can work out whenever they want.

Marc-Michaels Interior Design, Inc. of Florida is the decorator, while the Baltimore-based GaudreauInc. is the architect and the Columbia-based Manekin Construction is the general contractor.  Completion is scheduled for early 2007.
