Historic foundation stone at The Point marks the end of Exmouth Quay development

The Mayor of Exmouth, Cllr Brian Cole, joined Chris Fayers, Director of Exeter-based Eagle One Homes to unveil the historic dock foundation stone, from the original 1886 offices, now embedded in The Point at Exmouth Quay.

The completion of The Point brings the quay full circle and marks the 20-year transformation from run-down, derelict dock area to vibrant waterside community.

The Point apartment complex has fourteen waterside apartments with a mix of two and three bedroom homes arranged over four storeys. The building has two stunning penthouses with expansive glass walls on the top floor and the ground floor features three retail units. The retail units have all been sold to local businesses with River Exe Café and Stuart Line Cruises moving in shortly and AB solutions later in the year.

The two-bedroom, first floor apartment, which is the show home, features large windows facing the sea and river which capture the setting sun. It is designed with a modern finish to complement rather than compete with the views. The apartment uses jades, blues and tonal purples with hints of metallic silver in the walls and furnishings to echo the changing colours of the sea and the sparkle on the water. The Point show home will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 10-4pm.

Eagle One Homes built their first homes at Schooner Court in 1997 followed by the first apartments at Ropewalk House in 1999.  Now 265 properties later they have delivered 257 homes, 8 commercial units, a marina, a £10M sea wall, improved public spaces and created a vibrant waterside community of over 600 people.

Chris Fayers, Director of Eagle One Homes said: “I’ve worked on this project from the outset. I can recall visiting the site in its early days when there wasn’t much to see apart from sand, concrete, steel and a few remaining chalets. The location is second to none and inspired by the potential of the site we set about the transformation. As child I had spent holidays in the chalets and on the estuary so had known its former glory in the late 60s and 70s. I hope we have respected and recreated the atmosphere that existed in this tucked away part of the town.

Over 65 people visited The Point show apartment on its opening day marking the high demand for the property. One penthouse has already been sold and a further three apartments are under offer.
