We have another Ocean Ridge project, 3 Hudson Avenue, which is currently under construction and should be completed within the next 12 months. Those are typical spec houses that we own but we’ re also working on several custom homes, as we build both. We have three projects currently under construction in Delray Beach and a fourth in the design phase. We’ re working on the plans and that will soon be submitted for permits. In addition, we’ ve had several sales in Delray Beach lately. We’ re excited about all those new projects and about our new clients.”
Stephen portrays Ocean Ridge and Delray Beach as‘ highly sought after’ areas and highlights the importance of his personal proximity.“ It’ s local to where I am, which is great,” he continues.“ I want to be close to the projects. People want to be close to coastal lines, the beach, and vibrant downtown areas. Location is key for me.”
As builders of both spec and custom homes, Bella creates unique luxury properties.“ Every house is completely different, whether we’ re building it for a potential future client or for a current client,” says Stephen.“ We’ re not production home builders, so we never repeat the finishes in any of our homes. We look for the newest and most innovative designs out there and constantly keep up to date with trends and smart technology.
“ The demand for smart home integrations is huge. We use setups such as the Lutron homework system, which I’ d describe as the Rolls Royce system of centralized lighting controls. We fit systems which control lighting, security cameras and music, install high end Luma cameras and Sonos music systems- everything is pre-wired. This means you can set the mood in the whole house with just one touch of a button.”
