Carl M. Freeman Companies is recognizing 12 months of growth at its Bayside community in West Fenwick. The nearly 1,000-acre community added builders, opened a new sales center and introduced a member-only learning experience called Bayside Institute.

Bayside sold 36 homes in 2014, adding to the 686 existing residences. To build the homes, Carl M. Freeman Companies added Schell Brothers, Echelon Custom Homes and Marnie Custom Beach Homes as partners with NVHomes to offer residents an additional eight different home designs and two villa designs.

To accommodate the new builders’ presentation facilities, Freeman opened a new Sales & Information Center near the golf club. The 1,500-square-foot sales center allows visitors to meet with builder representatives, as well as learn about the community and its amenities.

This fall, Bayside announced plans to develop an indoor pool and recreation center, as well as the grand opening of the Schell Brothers Sanibel model home and the NVHomes Cypress Point model home.

The community also introduced a new website, at www.livebayside.com, featuring images for each residential type, by builder, and links to Troon Golf, the manager of the first Jack Nicklaus Signature Course in Delaware.

Three new neighborhoods — Captain’s Cove, Sea Grass Bend and Coastal Crossing — were introduced along with the partnership of the new builders. NVHomes hosted a special “Hard Hat” Tour of its newly launched townhome model home, while Schell Brothers offered residents and homebuyers a “Behind the Wall” Tour of its model home in progress.

Current members were offered a few new things in the summer. Highlighting the community’s bay views, Bayside launched Happy Hour at The Point, featuring live music and drink specials at its Pavilion at The Point.

This summer the community also launched Bayside Institute, a life-enrichment series. Bayside Institute is a year-round program designed to enrich the lives of Bayside members, promote “me” time and encourage members to ignite an undiscovered passion in the process.
