The Manning at Belle Meade Brings Exclusive Community to Woodmont Blvd.
Boutique development offers 34 homes in the highest-end residential development in Nashville's history
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 21, 2007)-Nashville’s most affluent neighborhood will soon be home to one of the highest-end condominium developments in the city’s history, when The Manning at Belle Meade breaks ground on Woodmont Blvd., near Harding Rd.
The $60 million development is the product of a team led by Richard Rhea and LaRawn Scaife Rhea. With only 34 residences ranging in price from $950,000 to $5.5 million, the community will offer estate living with world-class resort service, from concierge to a wellness and fitness center.
“The lifestyle that will be available at The Manning is unparalleled in this region,” developer Richard Rhea of Chartwell Properties says. “Our team has carefully evaluated and planned every aspect of this project for more than three years to arrive at a development that reflects the ultimate in convenience and elegance with true Nashville sensibilities.”
Classically inspired, residences at The Manning range in size from 1,800 to 6,000 square feet. Every home has spacious balconies and/or terraces with sweeping views of rolling hills in the distance and formal gardens below. The grounds and gardens are designed by Gavin Duke, a partner with Nashville’s Ben Page Associates. Architecture is by Houston-based Don Meeks of Meeks + Partners, and interiors are by Nashville’s Marjorie Feltus-Hawkins of Feltus|Hawkins Design.
Construction is slated to begin January 2008, with completion anticipated in 2009. Interested buyers can visit http://www.manningbellemeade.com to learn more about the project, or make an appointment by calling (615) 460-1223.
From the formal grand salon, breezy loggia, private wine storage to event planning and personal concierge services, The Manning provides a lifestyle of ease to its residents and their guests. The lushly landscaped property is quiet and secure, protected by state-of-the-art security systems and featuring gated entries and private elevators.
“The Manning is particularly close to our hearts, and we made every decision with our future residents in mind,” Rhea says. “We want it to be a respite from the everyday and hectic—a gracious home in which residents can rest, retreat, entertain…and simply enjoy.”
Its architecture is old-world manor blended with Southern warmth. The Manning is enveloped in pristine gardens and spacious outdoor living spaces, which entice residents with year-round recreational opportunities. Refined architectural details, high-end cabinetry from British designer Christopher Peacock and plentiful windows spilling natural light are but a few of the elements which conspire to make The Manning at Belle Meade a jewel of a property.
Sales at The Manning are set to begin in late July 2007, and will be handled by Traditions Management, a real estate sales and marketing firm whose elite projects throughout the US and Caribbean include The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Ocean Club Residences & Marina in Paradise Island, Bahamas and Maluaka in Makena, Maui, Hawaii. Locally, Traditions will team with Steve Fridrich of Fridrich & Clark Realty, a known leader in luxury homes sales throughout Middle Tennessee. With locations in Green Hills, on Music Row and in Brentwood, Fridrich & Clark has more than 40 years experience in the Middle Tennessee real estate market.
“Our role is not simply leading sales efforts,” says Mark Enderle, Traditions
Management president & CEO. “With each of our projects, we partner with the
development team, helping them mold a definitive lifestyle that suits their location, clientele and overall vision for the property. We believe we’ve done just that with The Manning at Belle Meade.”
