"I think everyone’s going to be looking up going, ‘I want to be up there!'"
I am no economist, but if I had to make serious pronouncements about the landscape, post Covid-19, I would say that commercial real-estate is going to be a real bummer. People have decided they no longer have to be in an “office” to “work.” Every other business is officially out of and every other person is deathly afraid of human scum.
My feelings about residential real-estate are not so bearish, especially when it comes to unique projects called The Surf, backed by a Backstreet Boy, and set to soar over Kelly Slater’s hometown of Cocoa Beach, Florida.
Shall we learn more?
The Surf property is located on North Atlantic Avenue between Minutemen Causeway and North First Street, just north of Coconuts on the Beach and Beach Shack.
The 25-unit structure will rise from the long-vacant site of Ocean Dunes, a vacation rental complex that got battered by Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne in 2004. Crews demolished the damaged Ocean Dunes complex in 2005.
Prices range from $800,000 for a 1,770-square-foot unit with three bedrooms to $2.2 million for a 4,080-square-foot, four-bedroom penthouse, listed by Alyssa Boyd, broker-owner of Sand Dollar Realty of Brevard.
The Surf features two-car garages for every condo, oceanfront balconies with glass railings, floor-to-ceiling windows, 11-foot ceilings and a two-story lobby.
“Anything that’s new and fresh around here, I get excited about. We’re bringing a slice of Miami-South Beach. Cocoa Beach is a hidden gem to me. That’s why I relocated my family here, instead of Orlando,” Howie D said.
“The fact that we decided to change the pool, from being on the beach side to the front side on A1A: I think that’s going to be a hot spot. I think everyone’s going to be looking up going, ‘I want to be up there,’ “ he said.
The Surf will also be a twelve minute walk away from the Kelly Slater statue.
Will you invest?
Will Kelly or has he repatriated to Australia?

RHONDA HARPER IS A 100% FRAUD. CONMAN. NEVER SURFED A DAY IN HER LIFE. STARTED BY TRY TO SHAKE DOWN THE BLACK SURFING ASSOCIATION IN 2006. SHE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ANY BLACK SURFERS SINCE SHE IS NOT ONE AND HAS NEVER BEEN ONE. SUPERCUNT WHO NEED AN ASS-BEATING.
You two seem to have a history, Would you care to comment further?
I actually think erecting statues in honour of the least famous/popular members of famous groups is a great idea
Sporty spice
Any one of the Jackson’s would be ok
A giant Chas, I picture carved into mount Rushmore…or standing proudly alongside the statue of liberty?
You’ll get your Jessie Jackson.
Fo shizzle.
Bronze Kelly is not character reveling enough for me. It’s a tail slide yeah? What were the options that were ruled out for this monument? Big backhand no grab baz would have been cooler, or an air. On my statue I’d like to be feeling boobs.
good view up the boardies tho
The goat of statue teabag upshorrting
Slater loves teabagging -could be a good headline if someone has a story to fit.
I’m kind of proud that I can’t name any Backstreet Boys former and/or current, so not sure who the least famous is, as it’s all kind of equal.
They usually don’t tell you their name, just how much its gonna cost ya.
They were famous as The Backsteet Boys, none of them could have had a solo career. The only spin off I can think of was Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch because his brother was in the The Backstreet Boys. Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch later became Mark Wahlberg model and actor. Then more recently reality TV star, restaurateur and likely real estate developer. He’ll probably become President of America eventually.
New kids on the block I believe
Donny walberg
This was my favorite
Used it to psych up for 2 foot queeny
