Take a tour of Renaissance Pointe this weekend
The developers of Renaissance Pointe are hosting an open house of sorts this weekend and the next. If you’re interested in the renewal of Fort Wayne, consider taking a tour of the first few houses being built in this 36-block area south of downtown.
If you go, take your camera. Post some photos or videos online and let us know about them by leaving a comment below. (A good place to post photos is Flickr. For videos, you could consider Vimeo.)
The tour is from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and on Oct. 27-28 and includes the houses built in the 2400 block of John Street (Google map). Here’s the information about the tour.
And here’s even more info:
- Read the FAQ.
- Take a virtual tour (3 min. video).
- Download a neighborhood map (1.8 MB PDF).
- Peruse the 48-page Renaissance Pattern Book, which outlines the neighborhood’s recommendations for quality design.
While you’re there, be sure to sit a while on a front porch. That’s the point of those, you know.
