REAL ESTATE : Bramalea Homes’ Newport Coast Draws Opening Day Throng
Compiled by John O'Dell, Times staff writer
It’s too soon to know how fast they’ll sell, but Bramalea Homes’ Newport Coast development drew a lot of looky-loos at the grand opening last weekend.
The Newport Beach-based builder says more than 6,500 people toured the model complex, located on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the Irvine Co.’s new Newport Coast project.
The 58 semi-custom homes--that’s builder talk for expensive tract homes with a lot of design options--are priced at $1.6 million to $2.1 million.
Bramalea officials won’t confirm it, but early word is that the company took at least six $100,000 deposit checks over the weekend.
