2011 Waiting For Renovation

renovationplans1

These pictures were taken in May, 2011, and represent the current state of the Belleview Biltmore Resort's interior. Plans for the fabulous Resort renovation have stalled, but hopefully, a new owner will soon step up to restore the Resort to her original elegance.

Before the property was sold in lieu of foreclosure, the previous owners gutted the entire Resort and began the interior demolition, in anticipation of renovation. All of the carpeting has been removed, and several exploration holes were opened in the walls and ceilings, to determine the soundness of the underlying frame, trusses and foundation. Fortunuately, the vast majority of the Resort's "bone structure" is in great shape.

Unfortunatley, roof damage suffered during the 2004 hurricane season, as well as damage from normal wear and tear, has been largely ignored because the entire roof was going to be replaced as a part of the renovation (and in some places, raised a few feet.)

Although the roof leaks have caused some damage to the interior of the structure, including portions of the fifth floor plaster ceilings, walls and a few sections of flooring - so far, almost all of the primary structure remains sound.
