Sandy Beach Homes to open model home, leasing office

The Sandy Beach Homes residential rental complex under construction in Chalan Kanoa will host an open house today, Sept. 10, to give interested applicants a look at a model home.

The six-story, 60-unit project is scheduled for completion in December 2011 and will be open for occupancy in January 2012 to applicants who meet income and other eligibility requirements.

“Construction continues to proceed at a smooth pace, and our open house on Saturday will be an opportunity for potential tenants to stop by and explore the features of the homes firsthand,” said Sandy Beach Homes managing member Bob Jones. “We will be ready on Monday to open our leasing office and begin accepting applications from qualified tenants.”

The open house will be held today from 8am to 5pm. The leasing office will be operated from the model home and will be open on Monday from 8am to 5:30pm. Regular office hours are from 9:30am to 5:30pm Monday through Friday and from 8am to 12pm on Saturday. Temporary parking is available in the lot just south of the former Pacific Gardenia Hotel on Beach Road.

Sandy Beach Homes will be launching a website at www.sandybeachhomes.net where applications will be downloadable before Monday.

Each of the homes has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, washer/dryer, A/C, insulated double-paned windows, water purification system, and ceiling fans in every room. The refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher are Energy Star rated. Additional amenities include a balcony overlooking Saipan’s western lagoon, a parking garage, typhoon shutters, and security cameras. The facility also includes backup generator and water supply. Four ADA units will also be available.

The Sandy Beach Homes complex sits in the heart of Chalan Kanoa, with several stores, banks, schools, churches and the main post office located within walking distance. The housing complex is funded under a federal housing program through Northern Marianas Housing Corp. The opportunity to stay at Sandy Beach Homes is open to all legal CNMI residents, even non-U.S. citizens, as long as income and other eligibility requirements are met. For example, the household annual income limit for two people is $28,620. Families or unrelated individuals may apply as a household.
