Dear Future Bella Vida Neighbors,
With the personalization process well underway, I want to take a moment to share a few helpful updates and reminders that may assist you as you prepare for your upcoming appointments. My goal is to make this process approachable, transparent and as enjoyable as possible. I’m grateful to be part of your journey to Bella Vida and look forward to helping you create a space that feels like home from the very beginning.
Sincerely,
Rachel McGowan
Bella Vida Personalization/Move-in Coordinator
Personalization Office – Friday Come and Go Hours Now Available from 2-4 p.m.
I’ve received several questions about stopping by to preview samples ahead of scheduled appointments. I’m pleased to announce Friday “Come and Go” Hours, now available each week from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. During this time, you’re welcome to explore the space at your own pace, review samples and ask general questions. No formal appointment is necessary. These hours are designed to help you feel more confident and prepared for your official selection meeting.
Outdoor Ceiling Fan Option
Another frequent question has been about the ability to install ceiling fans on balconies and patios. I’m happy to share that junction boxes have now been added as a standard feature to all apartment home balconies and patios. This allows for a ceiling fan to be selected during the upgrade process or after move-in. To maintain a cohesive look across the community, a single standardized fan style will be offered for this option.
Timeline Updates
We have just wrapped up MEP appointments for the first-floor apartment homes. I am currently scheduling MEP appointments for the second-floor apartment homes, as well as some Finishes appointments for the Villas. If you are scheduled for either of these steps and have questions or would like to prepare in advance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
As a reminder, both MEP and Finish Selections are entirely optional. Bella Vida offers these appointments as a courtesy to provide you with flexibility and personalized options, but participation is optional. If you choose not to take part in one or both phases, you can simply sign a waiver instead. We aim to support you throughout this process without overwhelming you.
A Note from a Fellow VIP
“Rachel, thank you so very much for making our finishing selections so easy! I had worried about the process, but your knowledge, experience and kindness made it fun and easy. The way you’ve set up your office with natural light and all the samples displayed so you can actually work with them to design your color scheme is so helpful.” — Kandy Campbell
