I just heard back from a source at Newland Communities regarding the status of development in Briar Chapel. They said that things are moving along as currently scheduled, even though they had some setbacks to the original timeline. They went on to say that Newland hopes to have models up by late-December or early-January in preparation for a presales event in early-2008.
In the mean time, they are currently receiving signed contracts back from their builders, and are planning a grand opening event sometime in March or April 2008. Stay tuned for more details...
