SailWatch Landing, LLC is proud to present to you another fine development along the beautiful shores of the gulf and intra-coastal waterways. The Developer of SailWatch Landing is Elliott Mitchell, a local developer who has been involved in many other elegant properties along the Scenic Highway corridor 30A. SailWatch Landing, LLC is marketing these beautiful three bedroom units along the Santa Sound. Elliott and his partner, Clark West, have developed such communities as The Villas at Santa Rosa Beach, The Villas at Sunset Beach, The Courtyards at Sunset Beach, The Villas at Seacrest Beach, The Villas at Seagrove Beach and SeaView Villas. Elliott and Clark developed Southern Shores Professional Center which was one of the first office condominiums on Scenic Highway 30A. So to say that experience comes with this Developer is an understatement. All of these properties have been highly successful and much sought after. The first community, The Villas at Santa Rosa Beach, broke ground in the early 90's with its mediterranean theme with grand ballusters and ballustrades. " So many of the condominiums at that time were just large non - descript buildings with not alot of style". Elliott and Clark decided to do something upscale with grace and beauty that folks could not only call their beach 'get-a-way', but an elegance that established the theme along the 30A corridor. When The Villas at Santa Rosa was completed, it became the bench mark for how buildings should appear. At that time there was very little elegance along the beach. Most of the home sites at that time were built back in the 60's when all people expected was a basic beach house. The Villas at Santa Rosa set the standard!! Many developers were using less than ideal hurricane ready building materials. Elliott decided up front to use quality materials and to go with proven builders. Those buildings and the ones constructed at SailWatch Landing are buildings constructed of concrete block with concrete floors. With SailWatch Landing on the drawing board, Elliott also took into consideration the history of the Santa Rosa Sound and the historic value of the downtown Fort Walton Beach area. In all of the developments, close attention is being paid to the environment and the impact of the surrounding areas. " We have always tried to save as much of the natural vegetation as possible". The draw to SailWatch Landing is the proximity to the beach, groceries, restaurants and shopping with far less traffic than the Destin area. Most of the prospects are local, from Okaloosa Island or Holiday Isle. Many state they have always loved the water but are tired of the storms. Living on the Intracoastal provides water and protection. Another draw is the pricing which is much better than Destin and other surrounding beach areas. The Fort Walton area, particularly Brooks Street, has benefited from the redevelopment of downtown, a sense of neighborhood and available water activities with reduced risks. A small urban renaissance is occurring in Fort Walton Beach and is receiving a welcomed overhaul and economic boom. From street lamps and landscaping, to specialty retail shops, restaurants and services, downtown Fort Walton Beach is putting itself back on the map. Another anchor to the development and renovation to downtown was construction of the beautiful Sybil Lebherz Center for Dance Education, home to the Northwest Florida Ballet and Academie in which Elliott and Clark were major financial contributors. Elliott also sat on the building committee for this beautiful facility. Fort Walton Beach has an authentic and historical downtown, steeped in character and charm. With the addition of SailWatch Landing and other urban markets underway, the future of downtown Fort Walton Beach has never looked brighter.
