Frenchman's Harbor - It's All Coming Together

I drove by Frenchman's Harbor yesterday evening and was impressed at how far that community has come so quickly!  A friend of mine who is the engineer who designed the bridges within this community let me know that the bridges are all now complete in the community.

So this is what the corner of Donald Ross Road and Ellison Wilson Blvd. looked like not very long ago.

And here are some photos taken of the progress in the community.

My Look at the Progress of Frenchman's Harbor

Frenchman's Harbor seems to be located in the perfect spot, just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean.  The new community is situated close to upscale shopping, fine dining, and recreational entertainment that Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and West Palm Beach have to offer.

When I attended the Palm Beach International…
