NORFOLK, Va. – Harbor’s Edge announced Friday that it has
crossed the 100 reservations threshold for its proposed expansion. When completed in 2020, the new River Tower at Harbor’s Edge will add 135 luxury residences, all with breathtaking views of the downtown skyline and Elizabeth River.
Harbor’s Edge, adjacent to Norfolk Sentara General, the region’s main trauma hospital
with its Heart Pavilion is Norfolk’s only Life Plan Retirement Community. Like the
existing Harbor’s Edge 17-story tower, the River Tower will offer residential living,
assisted living, memory support and skilled nursing as part of its Life Care program.
Luxury residences will have first-class amenities including four dining venues with chef prepared
meals, a heated pool, world-class spa and salon, a fitness center with
personal training, wellness programs, transportation to the region’s cultural events and
sporting venues, 24-hour security, as well as total maintenance and weekly
housekeeping.
More than 95,000 sq. ft. of additional common space is being added, which will feature
a ballroom and movie theater. The existing parking garage will be increased to allow for
the additional residents and guests.
The River Tower at Harbor’s Edge will feature open floor plans with floor-to-ceiling
glass, beautifully appointed kitchens and baths, in addition to superior soundproofing
and individually controlled heating and cooling systems.
C.A. Neil Volder, III, the developer and founder said that “when originally conceived,
Harbor’s Edge was always planned to be two towers integrated by common areas and
terraces that would create a one community feeling while maintaining a sense of privacy
for its residents. Our architects, three: living architecture of Dallas, Texas have
beautifully achieved that objective.”
Three: living architecture is recognized in both the hospitality and senior living industries
for their award-winning designs of five-star resorts, luxury hotels and upscale senior
communities around the world.
“In over 30 years, our firm has been fortunate to design five-star hospitality and
residential properties across the globe, said Rocky Berg, principal with three: living
architecture. “We are very proud to collaborate with Harbor’ Edge in the design of this
forward trending residence for the seniors and families in Hampton Roads.”
“Our services begin before our residents move in,” said Robbie B. Smith, chief
operating office of Harbor’s Edge. “Our in-house consultants and interior designers
assist residents with furniture placement and interior design to make the move
effortless. We are also making significant enhancements to the existing residences and
common areas so that once completed, Harbor’s Edge will continue as one beautiful,
seamless community.”
Harbor’s Edge is Hampton Roads’ premier Life Plan Retirement Community. Residents
enjoy a refined and active lifestyle featuring fine dining with Chef Willie Moats. Its
luxurious residences overlook Norfolk’s downtown skyline and have spectacular harbor
views of the Elizabeth River. Harbor’s Edge is governed by a voluntary board of
directors and is a not-for-profit 501 c 3 resident-centered community.
