Tangerine Palm Springs Now Under Construction

This is a News Release regarding an exciting new residential development now under construction in Palm Springs. Tangerine Palm Springs is an exclusive development of twelve detached residences featuring contemporary architecture and high quality construction materials.

Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) December 10, 2006 -- A remarkable new development of twelve detached residences is now under construction in Palm Springs. Developers Forté Homes with Bob Teaford have broken ground on an outstanding project to which all others will be compared.

Located on North Palm Canyon Drive at Via Escuela, the Tangerine community has been designed with privacy in mind and crafted with the highest quality finishes, details, and features. Tangerine integrates the ultimate in contemporary design, unprecedented attention to detail, and outstanding quality in a boutique environment with spectacular mountain views.

The two and three bedroom homes will range from approximately 2,521 to 2,782 sq ft. with high ceilings, gourmet kitchens, and oversized garages. Each home will have a private yard with pool and jet-streamed treadmill spa plus a private casita complete with baths and kitchenettes. Mood-enhancing custom lighting throughout, lavish master suites with private balconies, and luxurious multi-head showers and steam units make each home a masterpiece in the art of homebuilding. Each low-maintenance private yard will feature drought-tolerant 'desert-lush' landscaping.
Each of the uniquely designed semi-custom two-story residences will feature many unique touches such as glass stairways, illuminated and opaque glass panel garage doors, unique artisan-designed oversized gas fireplaces, metal baseboards, and oversized windows with custom metal frames and glass-to-glass seams.

This is not fad-driven retro-themed architecture like so many other new home projects in the area. Tangerine is all about contemporary design, clean, modern lines, and materials of the highest quality. The homes will also feature energy-efficient tank less hot water systems and be pre-wired for energy-saving rooftop solar panels. Superior craftsmanship is evidenced by the extensive use of steel and wood beams for structural integrity

Tangerine Palm Springs is the vision of the Development Team of Forté Homes, and partner Robert Teaford. In addition to constructing numerous communities in the Desert, the Tangerine development team has built custom residences and semi-custom neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay area, Beverly Hills, Pasadena and San Diego.

Like the producers of a Broadway musical, the Developers assembled the most talented team of creative professionals to bring their vision to a design reality. The chosen design team was challenged to push the boundaries, to have open minds to a new way of thinking with painstaking attention to even the smallest detail. Tangerine Palm Springs features extraordinary interior detailing by Jeffrey Jurasky & Associates.

Also part of the development team is the expert Realtor Beverly Bell of Coldwell Banker, who will be the exclusive sales agent for the project. Teaford said, "We wanted to be sure we were building what the buyers really want, and tapped Beverly's extensive knowledge of the market. We're confident that this project is exactly right for Palm Springs."

So why the name "Tangerine"? Du Pont explains: "The village that would become Palm Springs was originally marketed to investors as an agricultural community. In fact, in the late 1800's some of the first roads were named Lemon Street, Lime Street, and Vine Street. Those street names were changed in the 1930s to reflect the town's Native heritage, and prominent Agua Caliente Indian names such as Patencio, Amado, and Arenas replaced the citrus names. While our homes are most definitely contemporary, the historical nod to the past - an almost unknown past - is our way of honoring Palm Springs' history. Oh, and we also have a bit of nostalgic affection for that great song by Tony Bennett, which evokes the heyday of more recent Palm Springs of the 1950's."
