Time-share development to open in Williamsburg area

Bermuda-style and golf-oriented resort under construction next to the Williamsburg Country Club is set to welcome its first guests in June — more than three years after York County officials approved the project.The development will eventually include 784 condolike time-share units in the Parkside Resort, in addition to more than 40 stand-alone buildings — with shared ownership — in the Parkside Golf Villas. The project is being constructed in a highly visible 64-acre area along Merrimac Trail that is adjacent to the Williamsburg Country Club and the Interstate 64 interchange that serves as the entrance to Busch Gardens.Dan Carter, vice president of sales and marketing for Parkside Resort, said the Landmark Resort Properties of Virginia development's amenities — including guaranteed when-in-residence country club privileges for golf villa owners and a limited number of based-on-availability passes for time-share patrons — would appeal to baby boomers and avid golfers.
