WHAT MAKES BRIGHTWATER BLUE DIFFERENT THAN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS? The Developers of Brightwater Blue when designing Brightwater wanted to make sure that they built a product that could withstand the test of time. So why would that make you different than any other development on the street? The answer lies with the base structure. ZONING In comparable circumstances on this street, a townhouse development is fee simple and rents monthly or annually. Brightwater Blue design has allowed for this principle to be turned upside down for a few key reasons. In the planning stages, the developers were able to receive approvals to be a town house, but as a resort attached dwelling. What this does is it allows the unit owner flexibility if they want to rent their unit nightly, weekly, monthly, or annually. This is an incredible benefit because not only can an owner keep the residence for themselves year round if they wish, but it primarily allows those 2nd and 3rd homebuyers the flexibility of using the unit when they would like, and when they don t, they can rent the unit the remainder of the time generating the maximum return possible due to the nightly rental capacity. When factoring the size of the units, nightly rentals are not very practical. However, when you really think about what the ideal rental length for this type of product is, you find out it is around 3 to 4 nights. This is where Brightwater shines compared to any other townhouse / condo in the area. An owner is allowed a lot of flexibility and the ability to generate 2 to 4 times the revenues other comparable units can bring in. In simple terms, when you buy a unit in Brightwater Blue, not only do you buy a residence, but if you wish, you also have a revenue generator that makes sense. This rental capability makes your unit worth substantially more than any other adjacent units that rent monthly or annually based on an appraisal using a revenue model, and not cost model. The other distinct difference with Brightwater is each unit owner actually has a back yard. Normally, in other developments the back yard belongs to the Home Owners Association, this is not the case with Brightwater. The property owner has the benefit of using the space behind their unit, and the Home Owners Association starts at the seawall and encompasses the docks, the pool area located between the West and East Building, and all of the courtyard driveways. 2
STRUCTURE This is not a development that has the ground level masonry block, and all levels above wood or metal framing with dens glass, Brightwater is masonry block all the way up, and each floor level is solid concrete including the roof deck. What are the benefits? 1. You have a structure that doesn t squeak over time like a frame building because it is poured solid. 2. You don t have to worry about termites. 3. You don t have to worry about the bones of the residence deteriorating over time as you do with a framed building. 4. You have great sound proofing. 5. You have great energy values when designed together with rigid insulation (which Brightwater is). The Architect made sure that all exterior walls were designed with 1 1/2 inch rigid insulation with foil backing. This is not the normal detail. Usually a 3/4 inch rigid insulation is used or a batt insulation. This detail not only gives the unit great thermal properties, but allows the owner of each unit to enjoy the peace and quiet they rightfully deserve. When you are in a unit and have all doors and windows closed, you can feel the quality of construction by the absence of exterior or adjacent noises. The interior walls are all metal frame, with 5/8th drywall. Again, this is not a standard detail. Usually developers use 1/2 inch drywall. The benefit to 5/8ths is it s strength, and it s improved sound proofing. The same detail was used on the ceilings. All exterior Railings and Pergolas are solid welded aluminum with a Kynar powder coating finish. These are not mechanically attached railings and pergolas as most developers install, they are fully welded which is more common on very high end products. We are proud of this detail, because not only is it stronger and safer, it will not come undone over time needing to be tightened and refastened. All Windows and Sliding doors have been installed using Deco-Flash (http://www.deco-flash.com). This is a superior method for window installation because it provides an additional layer preventing window leaks from entering the residence. It is known in the industry that weather proofing failures are predominantly around the windows. Consider Deco-Flash an extra guarantee because there is a single PVC liner around the perimeter prohibiting this condition from happening. 3
All Garage doors are hurricane rated and wood plated. This is not customary at all, usually you will find the least expensive door available. The developers did not take this approach, they wanted to stay with the theme and design all the way to the end. There are no hanging sconces around the property because the Developers know that due to location, they would deteriorate within 1-2 years. Instead, there are can lights outside along with a low voltage LED system lighting the building at night. When approaching your units front door, an automatic sensor will turn the lights on providing the necessary lighting and safety one would expect. There are no switches to look for, it s all been thought out to work automatically. The roof is a solid concrete slab which has a multiple coated layer from Astec roofing giving not only a 15 year warranty, along with incredible energy savings values. The benefits to this system is not only it s strength, but it s ease to repair in the future. All of the water from the roof is drained to the front of the building and is dropped into the courtyard Aqua paver system. There are no expensive vaults to maintain on this property. Again, a superior design to other developments. PLUMBING The plumbing infrastructure at Brightwater has been designed using the Viega Pex System. (http://www.viega.us/xchg/en-us/hs.xsl/9217.htm). There are no glue connections on your supply lines. This is a press fitting system which commences at a main ManaBloc. The main benefits are that it reduces the wait for hot water and in turn reduces the amount of water wasted. You have a centralized control over your entire plumbing, being able to turn off the water to one specific location, leaving the rest of your home completely operational. All plumbing faucets are Grohe or Hans Grohe, The toilets are a single piece American Standard which you find in only high end residences. All shower and tub enclosures have solid glass doors and panels that are 84 high not your standard 78 There have been niches built in to all of the shower and tub enclosures allowing for soap, shampoo, and conditioner to be stored. 4
ELECTRICAL / ALARM / LOW VOLTAGE The electrical system has been designed using quality fixtures and materials. Thought was put into locating electrical receptacles in locations allowing for future electric blinds, under cabinet lights, etc Cable TV lines have been located in various locations permitting the owner the flexibility when laying out the furniture. There has been a Honeywell Lynx Touch 7000 system with a 7 full color touch screen installed in every unit. This control system not only controls your alarm, but it also allows you to see who is at the front door. It allows you to unlock the front door when you are on another level, or even remotely lock and unlock your unit. Again, a lot of thought has been put into this system for the units rental capabilities. An owner can provide an access code to anybody allowing there to be no need for a key to get into the home. The video doorbell has 2 screens (one on each level) allowing you to not only see who is at the front door, but allowing for you to unlock the door and allow them entry into your home. MECHANICAL After evaluating various systems, the choice was made to proceed with a Mitsubishi Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF Split system). The benefits to this system is it s efficiency and reliability. The main components consist of a S-Series Salt Protected Outdoor units which is ideal for our location and environment and a variable speed Air Handler on each living level for optimal temperature control. The system is quiet and best of all it offers a Manufacturer s 10 year parts and compressor warranty. The design allows for remote sensors located at all of the sliding doors turning the unit off if somebody were to leave the doors open for an extended amount of time. The Thermostats are the 3rd generation Nest controllers which aside from it s ease of use, it allows the owner to have remotely control and monitor the climate in their home. 5
