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.
