Investing Still A Great Opportunity Along The Grand Strand
By now, everyone is aware of the problems that have plagued the real estate market. The effects of the sub-prime mortgage crisis have been felt all across the country. But behind every boom and bust cycle, there’s always another wave of opportunity waiting. And nowhere is that opportunity more promising than in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Over the past decade, growth has defined the area. The Myrtle Beach of 10 years ago would be almost unrecognizable today. Vast tracts of undeveloped land have transformed into vibrant sections of the community. Yet, for as much as the city has already changed, there’s a strong sense that things are just getting started. Major projects, unlike any the area has ever seen, are nearly complete and promise to shape the economic landscape for decades to come.
Everywhere you look, new life is springing up in old areas. Developments like the Market Common, with its “urban village” style combining residential and retail areas, are leading the way in Myrtle Beach’s shift from a seasonal to a year-round destination. And the Hard Rock Theme Park off of Highway 501 has punctuated the area’s inland growth. An explosive economic environment is taking shape. And promising opportunities for anyone looking to invest are coming into focus.
The chance to invest in property around a world-class attraction before it opens doesn’t come around often. The Hard Rock Theme Park will soon draw thousands of visitors with its amphitheater, roller coasters and restaurants. And the Fountain Pointe Villas put luxury living within walking distance of it all. Real estate is about location. Investment is about timing. And right now, Fountain Point Villas offer the best of both.

December 23, 2007 - MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Hard Rock Park, which calls
itself the world's first rock 'n' roll theme park, is
under construction in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and is
scheduled to open in the spring of 2008.
A centerpiece of the park will be Led Zeppelin: The
Ride, a 155-foot-high looping, steel roller coaster
with a high-fidelity on-board audio system that will
blast the classic band's hit "Whole Lotta Love,"
creating what the park's promoters are calling "an
unprecedented sensory experience."
The park will be 140 acres with more than 40
attractions. In addition to coasters, there will be
shows, children's play areas, restaurants, cafes and
retail stores, and a live music amphitheater.
For more information or to purchase advance tickets,
which will be priced at $46 for all ages, visit
hardrockpark.com . The project is the first theme park
from the Hard Rock franchise, which also owns 125
cafes and more than a half-dozen hotels and casinos
around the world.

Welcome to the Hard Rock Park of Myrtle Beach!
Where Rock Comes to Play! The Hard Rock Park will be a 55-acre rock 'n' roll theme park (on 140 acres) located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The park will be located between Highway 501 and the Intracoastal Waterway on the site of the former Waccamaw Factory Shoppes in Fantasy Harbour. Construction of the park began on July 13, 2006, with a groundbreaking ceremony featuring "Mount RockMore", a 3-story tall sand sculpture featuring the faces of John Lennon, Bob Marley, Elvis Presley, and Jimi Hendrix. Opening is scheduled for spring 2008. The Hard Rock name is being licensed from The Rank Group, current owners/operators of the Hard Rock Cafe brand, to HRP Myrtle Beach Operations, LLC, who is designing, building and will own a major share in the theme park. |
