Once CR has the inventory, it might be real hard to pry it away from them.

Well if units only come out in dribs and drabs they can keep the price up and not have to offer any incentives or anything. I would like an incentive, who doesn't like a perceived bargin.

bet that is the plan.

that say still expecting DVC to give us a discount - like they did before. we even got a discount with BCV - so expecting one. Or at least not a price increase until DVC members had their chance.

but those building went up in phases.

this is more like BCV and VWL - which was 100% from the beginning.

While the shell may be up 100% the interior build out can be staged with some floor completed and other not or a wing complete while another is not.

I would highly doubt there will be unfinished floors in the building. We are not talking Pop Century Resort over here!

By reading the article, I get the sense that it will be all DVC, and i mean a regular, individual owner DVC. also think that sales will start sooner than the article says.

They can afford to open it in phases, keep the demand, and the price up. Clearly, DVC recognizes the demand here and will price it accordingly.

But do we have to call it KTV now?

You would never release an entire building into inventory in one shot....especially that large. It would be like building an entire SSR and releasing everything. It will always go in phases, that is the way to shield the members and developers during sales. Members will not be responsible for upkeep up undeclared inventory, which is why even the first owners at a resort do not have a crazy high MF, even thought there are not many owners to pool their money together. It will probably be declared in floors (maybe about 25 per floor, that should fill a 15 story building after you add in restaurants, lobbies, etc.

I would not be worried that this is not going into DVC fully, just slowly being released.

You keep saying that but it isn't correct. While BCV and VWL were 100% finished when sales began, they were claimed into inventory in phases.

As I posted in another thread, high rises are a little different. As long as the life safety systems are in place they can get a Certificate of Occupancy. They could finish a few lower floors, or upper floors or every 4th floor, whatever, and begin occupying them while completed the others. It makes no sense to attempt to complete 281 villas at one time and why would you not want to begin selling, and more importantly collecting money, on completed villas instead of waiting several months for them to be 100% finished.

think you find that I said in both places before I was corrected. Just did not realize that then - and definitely should have because brought at both places.

Dan great to see you posting again. Missed you!!!

 

[spiceycat]

that means the other problem that I had with VWL.

with VWL unless you owned at VWL you couldn't get in VWL for the first few months.

it was either pay cash or buy VWL. so I brought VWL. don't remember BCV having this problem.

but may have been wrong.

undeclared is undeclared and you can't use your other home resort points until they are declared.

so before anyone can stay here on points - someone must buy it.

In fact, starting with 75 units out of 281 is actually a very high initial declaration, which means they likely expect very brisk sales once they start.

However, the one thing we cannot tell for certain from info provided is whether it will all be DVC. They will have 281 units in the timeshare but what we don't know is whether 281 is the entire building or only part of it. I am guessing it is all but I await confirmation.

 

[AKV707]

That's how it reads to me as well. I think that some of us are blending the op's story with the article. Assuming that the Sentinel article is correct, I see nothing in it to suggest that it won't be 100% DVC.

That is what I am hoping. I imagine they will give us first dibs, at least, right?

Cancelled projects
A project in Newport Coast, California began in March 1994, followed by rumors of resort plans in Beaver Creek, Colorado. In August 1995 an issue of Wired magazine reported that Disney Vacation Club was considering a site at Times Square in New York City, part of the 42nd Street Project near the New Amsterdam Theater and ABC studios. Neither the Beaver Creek nor the Times Square project ever came to fruition.

What happened to Eagle Pines DVC?

Three Disney Vacations Clubs
That Might Have Been
Disney officially announced a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) in Newport Beach, California, in March 1994, but Disney never began construction. There were no public plans for a Disney Vacation Club at Disneyland Paris, only a perfect site at the Disneyland Paris golf course. In both cases, Marriott Vacation Club built beautiful resorts instead of Disney.

This article is about three other Disney Vacation Clubs that never made it past the planning stage.

1. Disney’s Mountain Lodge in Colorado
2. Disney’s Times Square Villas, New York
3. Disney’s Villas at Eagle Pines, Walt Disney World
