Memorial Day weekend 2010 will go down in the books as one of the best if not the best 3 days of weather you could ask for. Many people came to enjoy the lake and fun they had. Eating establishments were packed and C-Stores did thriving business. Marinas were selling gasoline for boats and lodging was full around the lake. You could not tell the economy was soft being here over the holiday.

Saturday, I had lunch at the new Aqua Grill on Monkey Island. This new marina with grill on the marina deck was booming with business. My Angus Burger and fries were excellent, just like a gourmet burger should be. Watching the boats on the lake and coming in/out of the marina was fun and the cool breeze off the lake made it a very enjoyable lunch.

Last Thursday I had lunch at the new resturant at Honey Creek Landing in Grove, The Lazy Parrot. My fish sandwich and fries were very good. We ate inside but enjoyed the lake view at the Honey Creek Marina in Grove.

Soon Grove will have another new eating establishment at the North end of town, just South of Sailboat Bridge. Broklee’s Grill will soon open. The owner is a former manager at the local Rib Crib. I would be that Brok will do well in his new venture as well.

Millie’s Gifts and an RX Shop will be opening soon on Grove’s Main Street. Millie has been a fixture for years in Grove and we are all anxious to see what she will be offering in her latest venue.

A large new development project for Grove, OK on the shores of beautiful Grand Lake was just announced. Integris Health has sold the now closed former hospital on main street in Grove to Wheeler Development. The new retail center will be called Har-Ber Pointe. The development company has also purchased additional adjoining land. The anchor of the new center will be a major grocery store, which company remains to be announced but the rumor mill has a new Harps or Reasors going into this spot. There will be other free standing buildings for food service, retail, and perhaps a bank. This is a huge new development for Grove, OK and will drastically change the main street. The additional new space will bring new shopping opportunities and increased sales tax dollars to Grove.

Wheeler Development is owned by Wheeler Interests Inc. based in Virginia Beach, VA. The Wheeler family involves two brothers as principals who grew up in the Tulsa, OK area. They established a NE OK office just a few years ago and have done several retail development projects in the Tulsa area. In Grove, the company owns Liberty Storage and has another large storage facility in Disney, OK. A press release says the company has developed, managed and leased over 3 million square feet of commercial space from New York to Florida to Texas and Oklahoma.

Integris Health moved into their new 58 million dollar hospital just a few blocks east of the old facility in late January, 2010. Grove is truly on the move now with the new hospital, a new doctors private practice building, new denist office, an eye doctor’s office, and a new home furnishings/pharmacy building being worked on now. The new retail center will be about a year from start of construction with time needed for plans and tearing down the old structures.

The tract I would like to feature today is just outside the Grove city limits at the south edge. It has city water and gas at the property.

Tired of getting kicked around in the stock market and don’t know where to invest. Maybe something you can see, feel, walk on, and enjoy is the answer. Waterfront lots on Grand Lake are not plentiful and the closer you get to Grove, OK, the largest city on Grand Lake the less lots for building are found. Supply and Demand are two equations of any market and true on waterfront lots.

You can always buy lake home or lots cheaper in late fall or early winter than any time of the year and this year with all the financial turmoil you might just get a bargain. Hold your lot investment two years, get capital gains treatment on your income tax from the profit at it’s much cheaper rate than ordinary income, the demand will be up for waterfront lots after this economic downturn, and you have turned your investment cash into profits at a lower tax rate. You have also had something to enjoy in the meantime and if I am wrong, which I believe is a big “if” you still have land on the waterfront to enjoy. Unlike a stock whose value went down and all you had was a brokerage house paper for your investment, you would have dirt to feel, touch, look at, and walk on and don’t forget that terrific view of Grand Lake that came with your lot.

To find just the right lot for your investment call the Grand Lake Team, Aaron Hughes or Joe Neill today. Aaron @ 918 801-5645 or Joe @ 918 640-3300.
