A fine August day at Lendon

The progress being made on the Lendon properties is a bit subtle if you're looking from a distance.  Things like the sidewalks, property lines, and the roads can be a bit hard to see without a close drive by.  Here are a few pictures from the Jones Farm Park.  I'll get some closeups soon so you can see better.  We are still excited to find out exactly what improvements are being made to the walking track.  So far we see new dirt added around the far side of the ponds that leads back to the parking lot.  We suspect that this will be paved and become a new segment to walk.  We'll keep you updated as we get more information!

Pink Skies over Lendon

I came across a good opportunity to take some cool pics here at Lendon which included a nice background of the pink sky provided by mother nature.  I also snapped a few shots of the new work around the ponds as well as some of the continued roadside work.  I hope you enjoy!

New home construction will begin at LENDON this month!

The moment we have all been waiting for is upon us! We have confirmation that the Huntsville City Council has approved LENDON’s final plan which divides the development area into lots, shows boundary lines, streets, actual measurements, etc.. Now that the plan has been approved construction of the buildings is imminent.  In the meantime, there has been a new silt fence put up around the ponds all the way from the Jones farm park parking lot to the walking path bridge that goes over the canal promenade.  I am not sure exactly what is happening here, although it looks like there is a possibility of the walking path being expanded to the other side of the ponds.  How cool would that be?  I took a few pictures of the area with the silt fence but more importantly, I did a drive through of the Lendon roads.  Check out this short three minute video to see what the new roads and current development look like.  Lendon is taking shape quickly, don't blink or you might miss some exciting new development!

Lendon June updates and a rainbow!

We are pleased to report that all of the roads in the Phase I area seem to be paved as you will notice in the pictures.  You will also find that many of the trees have found their way around the newly paved roads which is starting to give the development more of a community feel every day.  Of course work is continuing on the rest of the development, much of which pictures can't really capture, for example all of the drainage and utility pipes have been successfully installed.  A huge plus, but little to see above ground.  I hope you enjoy the pictures, see if you can find the rainbow in a picture or two.

How did Lendon hold up to the heavy rain and flash flooding in Huntsville

Over the weekend you may have noticed the flash flood warnings and wondered how Lendon held up.  Good news!  The drainage system throughout the development area worked perfectly!  All of the water drained as should be expected and there was no unexpected standing water.  Here are a few pictures the morning after the flash flood warnings and heavy rainfall.  Also notice that the asphalt is down on some of the streets, how cool is that?  Any guesses what's next?  Street signs?  Lights?  Buildings?  We're all looking forward to the new community and I'll keep bringing you pictures so you can follow this exciting development!

New design signs at Lendon just in time for Valley Fest

With Valley Fest 2014 just a couple of days away we are happy to see some new additions to Lendon.
We now have several new signs that display the future locations of the various types of buildings and features that will be in each area located throughout the development.  These signs are very cool and give us the sense of what will be coming soon.  You can look into the pictures, take it in, then close ur eyes and imagine the community that's on its way.  We also find that curbside parking cement has been poured on the main street, very cool!  Enjoy the pictures at the bottom of the page and don't forget to stop by on Saturday for more fun than you've had in a loooong time!
