August 16, 2010

Yard signs are now available so that you can let neighbors, City Council, and Mr Collins know that the current proposal for “The Landmark at Talbot Park” is unacceptable.

"No New Apartments" signs are available in protest Collins Enterprises LLC's request to build apartments rather than condos as originally promised

Opposition to Collins Enterprises, LLC’s proposal to build apartments on Newport Ave, rather than condos as originally promised, is growing amongst the Wards Corner community.  The four story proposal would change the nature and character of Newport Ave, the neighborhood, and the community as a whole.

To get your very own yard sign, please email us at wardscornernow@wardscornernow.com .  Be sure to send your address.

VP article on WestPort Commons

September 16, 2008

Wards Corner Now previously reported on WestPort Commons back in July in an article “WestPort Commons update“.

Today, the Virginian-Pilot has an article, “Wards Corner condo project to take the place of apartments“.

There is nothing groundbreaking in the article.  Here are a few select quotes:

With prices starting at $150,000 and topping out at $350,000, the $60 million project on Newport Avenue should appeal to buyers of many incomes, Collins said.

Debra Almeter, of Coastal Group Inc., which is marketing the 32-unit Riverpoint project, said interest, but not sales, in the condos has picked up in recent weeks. In the 10 months since the project opened, she has sold one condo and has contracts pending for two others.
