Tangerine Palm Springs Now Under Construction

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.

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 spa plus a private casita with its own outside stairway access. Each low-maintenance private yard will feature drought-tolerant 'desert-lush' landscaping.

Each of the uniquely designed semi-custom two-story t residences will feature many unique touches such as glass stairways, illuminated and translucent glass garage doors, unique custom fireplaces, metal baseboards, and large custom windows with copper trim.

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.

Forté Homes owner Mark A. Du Pont, when asked about the project said, "Tangerine Palm Springs is more like a unique work of art than a typical development. This is unlike anything I have built previously." Co-Developer Bob Teaford added "We assembled a team to create homes with the concept of comfort and exquisite style in mind, and with the help of preeminent Interior Designers Jeffrey Jurasky and Associates, we kept refining each element of each home until it was perfect." Indeed, the team's collaboration resulted in floor plans and interior details that take into account the placement of furniture, views, lighting, storage, and more. Then, experts in lighting design were brought in to ensure that each homes lighting plan reflected the most advantageous angles for potential placement of artwork, furniture, and highlighting of the architecture. The design team has thought through every possible option as though it were a standard feature to ensure consistency within the development.

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."
