March 11th 2011

We've had a lot of clients visiting the last few weeks, especially during the half term holidays. The weather has been very mixed. We've had a LOT of rain, high winds and very cool temperatures on some days and on others, it's been hot enough to strip off and get in the pool. Jonathan made the most of it last week.

Grove Spa Resort Blog Update 19th October 2010

We are delighted to have taken possession of Plot A of The Grove Spa Resort from GCC. It has been a challenging year for everyone involved, given the seismic changes in world economic conditions but we are proud to have delivered a top class scheme.  It is looking really excellent now the outside work has been finished and the pools have been filled.

We have had a busy programme of handovers to clients and this continues throughout October and November. The feedback is very positive and clients have been enjoying the serenity and views from the resort when staying overnight.

During the day the site is a hive of activity with contractors finishing the last details, clients taking possession of properties, furniture deliveries and utility companies doing the final sign-off checks.

One of the pool technicians demonstrated today how the pool water, which is cleaned without chlorine using an environmentally-friendly process,  is cleaner than the municipal tap water and can safely be drunk.

Work continues on Plot B (comprising Blocks C, D, E and F) to the end of the month when all private apartments will be ready, all external communal works completed and GCC hand over this plot.  Work will continue on the Spa building, shop, restaurant, green area and roads to the end of the year.

Planting begins on Plot B

First client takes possession of property at The Grove Spa Resort

David Pepper was the first client to take delivery of his apartment on 15th September 2010. David is pictured here in the kitchen of his penthouse in Block A receiving the keys from Joanne Patterson from InvestinCyprus.com Developers Customer Services. David inspected the apartment, transferred his utility accounts and installed all his furniture and window coverings in a jam-packed short trip to the island. He will return in October for a holiday with his family in his new property.

Site Progress Meeting 8th September 2010

Plot A

The apartments on Plot A, ie those in Blocks A, B, G and H are now finished and fully snagged internally. We are waiting for delivery of the last pieces of expansion joint materials to enable the rest of the communal external area to be completed.

The site was due for handover by the construction company on 1st September but due to a few items still to finish off externally, as well as waiting for the electricity authority to finish the testing and commissioning of the electricity supply to each apartment, we will now take possession of the site on 5th October. Delivery of Plot B (comprising Blocks C, D, E and F) will be on 20th October. This new handover timetable does not affect the delivery of the apartments which are finished and undergoing final snagging ahead of the delivery to clients between 15th September and 15th November.

Kitchen of Block D Townhouse

In the communal external spaces, the Gripstone areas are almost completed and the wooden decking around the pools has begun to be installed.

Installing the wooden decking

All garden areas have now been planted and the artificial grass installed between Blocks A, H, G and B which gives a cool, calm feeling to the resort.

The utility companies have finished the installation of water and electricity connections around the development so the road construction is now underway. With so much messy work going on around the edges of the resort to complete the roads and pathways we are delaying filling the pools until the end of the month.

Laying out the visitor car park next to Block G	Finishing the main car park of the Spa building

We spent time this week with potential operators of the restaurant and supermarket and also continued with the interviews for resort staff. The Spa building continues to shape up well.
