Cyclist-Friendly Project in South Carolina Sets September Start

Greenville, SC - A new theme of developments may be rising with the planned start of Pla d'Adet, an 85 home project set near the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The project is one of the first to include trails for cyclists and mountain bikers in its list of amenities. Traditionally Golf has been the main sport that would attract buyers of homes in sunny climates and subsequently property along a golf course will be worth more than a simliar property that is not on the course. The developers of Pla d'Adet are hoping that the growing number of cyclists will have the same affect on their development.

Although the development will include a wide range of amenities geared toward the general fitness minded buyer and not just cyclists. Among the amenities will be a 35,000 sf. Fitness Center with a workout arena, a 25-meter indoor pool, aerobic studio, group cycling studio, spa and dry sauna. There will also be two four-mile outdoor tracks, one for cycling and the other for mountain biking and trail running. The project is planning to break ground in September to coincide with the USA ProCycling Championships. It is expected to be complete by spring of 2008.
