Lendon Infrastructure Update

Looking at the Lendon site over the past two weeks there's little to show in the way of visible progress but let me assure you that the work has been progressing very nicely.  The reason there is little to see is that the majority of the current work is being done on the infrastructure underground.  That's right, all of the pipelines are being strung together and sealed up tight.  To do this they have to dig small ditches throughout the entire property a little at a time then drop and seal the pipes and of course cover.  I did get into the site to take a few pictures so you can see a little of this infrastructure in progress, but the first couple of pictures are of an area that looks like they are redistributing soil again.  It seems to be a big area that has been dug out to mix in better topsoil.  I hope you enjoy!

Jones Valley Population Growth 2010 - 2012

I thought it might be cool to check out the population growth of the area to see what's been happening in the recent past as far as growth in and around Jones Valley.  I had the folks at IMapApps Website Design create this map for us to identify the trends.  The small star is of course the Lendon site area.  We can clearly see from this map that Lendon is happily in a growing location where we can all prosper for generations to come.

Updates and Advancements at Lendon

We have a few new advancements to report.  The first advancement is that the pipes have been being put in place under the roads.  They are digging small sections and connecting the pipes to run throughout the Lendon properties.  This means we will soon have utilities strung through the site and then development will really take off.  The second thing to report is that the trench that was dug out is now completely refilled with new dirt and has left little trace that it was ever there.  The folks at http://imapapps.com have provided some more professional pictures so you can see the development.

Supplies are making their way to Lendon

I had mentioned that some piping had made it's way to the scene in a prior post but now there is a lot of pipes showing up.  It looks like they are getting ready to line the site with utilities!  This is a very exciting stage of development because it means phase I of the Lendon site is close to being molded into it's new terrain and the building is soon to follow.  I have tried to capture a few pics but it was pretty dusty so here are the best of the days pics.

The new pipes which are being moved to multiple locations throughout the site.

The trench which is almost all the way filled back in at this point.

The dump truck bringing more soil to the trench.

The dust storm caused by the dry hot day and of course no grass yet.

The bulldozer pushing around the load of soil that the dump truck just dropped off.  As you can see in this picture the trench is almost gone.

This is an overview of the pond at the Jones Farm Park looking at Lendon, I love this view!

Lendon of Huntsville real estate available.

I'm sure that you don't want to miss out on Lendon's traditional neighborhood development.  It will be a unique blend of modern conveniences and the traditional styles and values of the days past.  This will be the first community of its kind in Jones Valley.  All of the residents will be able to enjoy the scenery and serenity of the countryside pastures, lush mountain peaks, and grazing cattle, yet have convenient access to great neighborhood services.
Lendon will have the most stunning village-style commercial center that will include restaurants offering various cuisines, boutique-style shops, and professional services which residents will be in walking distance from.  Of course on their walk they can visit the beautifully landscaped adjoining parkland or stroll over to Valley Bend At Jones Farm, the major retail center offering a variety of great stores and restaurants.


Here is a preview map of the phase I development.

We hope to see you there!

Lendon's Canal street has some new markers

This week has seen some advancements over at the Lendon of Huntsville site.  Canal street has some new markers that have been placed in the middle of the dirt road.  These markers seem to go most of the way along the Jones Farm Park side to the Lendon Esplanade.  Maybe we'll see some development on the road soon.  Now a little more about that trench I spoke about.  It seems that it isn't totally being filled back in.  I took some shots of it after they filled it partially back in so you can see what is going on.  It looks like maybe they have displaced some of the soil that was in there and replaced it with possibly less dense soil.  Here are the pics.

Lendon plumbing is on the horizon

We have seen a couple of new and exciting things arise here at Lendon lately.  Of course one of them was the trench, and the newest one is the arrival of the big cement piping.  The trench has had an interesting turn of events.  It has been being filled in seemingly with nothing done.  I am not completely sure what the purpose of this was, although I suspect possibly is was dug to add better drainage.  I'll keep 'digging' into this as much as I can to see if I can find out why.  

The cement tubing that showed up is interesting because so far there is only about 10 or 12 pieces.  Clearly this would not be the entire plumbing for the site, and it may only be road drainage we have yet to confirm the intended use.  I will follow up on this and keep a close eye on where these go and how they flow.  

Here are a few pictures.  I'll get more over the weekend.
