Bayside Fenwick Island marks 12 months of growth

Carl M. Freeman Companies is recognizing 12 months of remarkable growth at its award-winning Bayside community in Selbyville. The nearly 1,000-acre beach community added three top-tier builders, opened a new sales center and introduced a member-only learning experience called Bayside Institute.

Bayside sold 36 homes in 2014 to add to the 686 existing residences. To build these homes, Carl M. Freeman Companies added Schell Brothers, Echelon Custom Homes and Marnie Custom Homes as partners with NVHomes to offer residents an additional eight different home designs and two villa designs. To accommodate the new builders’ presentation facilities, Freeman opened a new Sales and Information Center near the golf club. The 1,500-square-foot sales center allows visitors to meet with builder representatives as well as learn about the community and its amenities.

This past fall, Bayside announced plans to develop an Indoor Pool and Recreation Center as well as the grand opening of the Schell Brothers Sanibel Model Home and the NVHomes Cypress Point Model Home.

The community also introduced a new website, www.livebayside.com, featuring images for each residential type by builder and links to Troon Golf, the manager of the first Jack Nicklaus Signature Course in Delaware.

Three new neighborhoods, Captain’s Cove, Sea Grass Bend and Coastal Crossing, were introduced along with the partnership of the new builders. NVHomes hosted a special Hard Hat Tour of its newly launched town home model, while Schell Brothers offered residents and homebuyers a Behind the Wall Tour of its model home in progress.

Current members saw a few new offerings in the summer. Highlighting the community’s beautiful bay views, Bayside launched Happy Hour at The Point, featuring live music and drink specials at its Pavilion at The Point. These new activities were met with enthusiasm by the community residents.

This summer the community launched Bayside Institute, a life enrichment series. Created to inspire, Bayside Institute is an innovative year-round program designed to enrich the lives of Bayside members, promote “me” time and encourage members to ignite an undiscovered passion in the process.
