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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Monthly Progress Meeting 3rd August 2010

The holiday season has well and truly begun - and just as well, as the mercury hit 46 degrees last week in Cyprus with 98% humidity in Larnaca and poor visibility – which is not pleasant when working on a building site. Luckily for the construction workers the site is closed from 7th to 16th August with most businesses across Cyprus taking a full 3 weeks holiday till the end of August.

The team in Liverpool is also taking the opportunity to squeeze in a few days holiday before the handover season begins in September. The office will remain open for the first time this year in the run up to completion but with a reduced staff till the end of the month as we rotate through holidays.

In the final month before completion the last details are being finished across the site.

Across the site

The finishing touches are being made to the external areas with the wooden decking being laid around the pool areas and the pathways being finished off.

The Spa building in on track with further work done on the reception area with feature tiling and the floor to ceiling glazing in the gym is being installed, providing a great view of the resort while doing a cardio workout.

The work on the public roads surrounding the development has begun. This is great news as this work is often subject to delay in Cyprus as it is generally not within the control of the developer. However the utility companies have started to lay the cables and pipes necessary to connect the development to the main services. Once this work is finished the public pathways surrounding the development will then be completed.

The interior fit out of the hydrotherapy area continues and the mosaic feature wall of the hydrotherapy pool is finished as is most of the tiling in the pool, Jacuzzi, plunge pool and showers. The wooden walls and seating of the sauna have been installed and construction of the barrelled ceiling of the steam room is underway.

The private apartments are virtually finished and are now being systematically cleaned and snagged prior to the formal handover from the construction company on 1st September. Our own staff will then do another snagging inspection of each property before the owners begin to take possession over the coming months.
