Sydness Architects has designed a three-building complex of 15-story luxury residential condominiums, named Grandview Heights, for a 170-acre waterfront property on Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas.  Located in one of the fastest growing areas in the country – Wal-Mart, Tyson Foods and J.B. Hunt have their headquarters there – the condominiums are planned to attract upscale second home buyers as well as retirees.  The first multi-story condominium complex in northwest Arkansas, it marks a new stage in the area’s growth and is being developed by E & S Development and Properties of New York.

Grandview Heights will introduce approximately 360 residential units offering one, two and three bedrooms ranging in size from 1500 to over 3000 square feet.   Says architect Jeff Sydness, “The buildings’ curved plans are a response to the lake and natural setting with its rolling hills and soft, lush landscape.” The top five floors will step back from the lake side, offering the residents on each floor their own private terraces with their spectacular views.   All of the units will have generous balconies.

Beaver Lake is a recreational mecca drawing water sports enthusiasts from a wide area, and Sydness Architects’ master plan preserves as much of the lakeside’s natural beauty as possible.  Each building rises from a base that features a large landscaped terrace with a swimming pool and barbeque area for entertaining and lounging.  Within each base is an enclosed, two-level parking garage for 180 cars.  A network of paths will connect the various elements of the development with the lakefront where owners will have access to boating and beachfront activities.

The residential units have floor to ceiling glass walls with panoramic views of the lake and surrounding countryside. State of the art, European-style kitchens and bathrooms will enhance the luxury living of these homes in the sky.  Each building will have an amenity level with full spa facilities, a concierge service and spacious lobby.

 Construction of the first building is scheduled for late 2006, with occupancy in early 2008.
