The Rapids' construction concept is designed to provide buyers the utmost in
flexibility to customize their unique riverside homes. The Rapids development team recognizes that the buyer, rather than the developer, is best suited to determine the layout, finishes and systems that most suit their lifestyle. Therefore, in order to minimize tear out of finishes and duplication of expenses, Rapids units will be built and delivered ready for the homeowners' customization. The following describes what will be delivered to Rapids buyers:
