February Update - The Wharf

Ferris Wheel Arrives

The various components of The Wharf’s Ferris wheel arrived stateside at the Port of New Orleans and began the journey last week to Orange Beach. At fifty feet tall, the base of the Ferris wheel has been erected and already stands high above the Rave Motion Picture Theater. We have been filming the various stages of this project, including its arrival, and will continue with the filming of the erection of the wheel. Plans are to produce a short documentary covering this exciting project. It’s not often that a community welcomes such a unique attraction – the Ferris wheel is the southeast’s largest and will become an icon for the Alabama Gulf Coast for generations to come.

Wharf Donates Police Boat
The Wharf is pleased to announce the donation of a 26 foot Silvership AM800 patrol boat to the City of Orange Beach’s police department. With a permanent home at The Marina at The Wharf, the police boat will patrol the Waterway and surrounding waters. "We want to thank the Wharf for their recent donation of the patrol boat. This, in my opinion, shows their commitment to the Orange Beach community for a safer city.” says Chief of Police Billy Wilkins. The dedication ceremony took place Tuesday, February 21 at the Orange Beach City Hall.

Main Street Begins to Take Shape

Progress continues on both Wharf Parkway and Main Street’s retail shops and parking decks. Crews are now working on the interiors of the Rave Motion Picture Theater, and the exterior is nearing completion. Visitors to the site can now get a true sense of our town center as they drive through the area. Click here to see the most recent photos.

Construction crews are now working on the fifth floor of the Levin’s Bend condominium. With six more floors to go, Levin’s Bend will be the first condominium tower to be completed, and we anticipate that the east tower will be completed this fall.

The Marina at The Wharf

Phase I of the The Marina at The Wharf is complete, and the remaining phases are nearing completion. We will soon be able to pump fuel and accept transient boaters. Boat slips are still available for lease and we encourage anyone interested in a slip to contact us now, as we expect these slips to lease quickly.

Grand Opening – Entertainment Complex

We have decided to celebrate our grand opening in phases, with the entertainment complex opening over the Memorial Day weekend. This will include the highly anticipated opening of our open-air amphitheater, featuring Hank Williams Jr. on Saturday, May 27! Tickets will go on sale soon. Our homeowners will have the first opportunity to purchase tickets, and then the rest will go on sale to the public a week following. Be sure to watch your e-mail or to check our website for ticket information.

Also opening over the Memorial Day Weekend will be the 15 screen Rave Motion Picture Theater, the Ferris wheel and several other shops and attractions, like Monsters From the Deep, located in the entertainment complex near the Rave.

Grand Opening – Town Center and Marina

Several weeks later, we will celebrate the opening of many of our shops and restaurants located along Main Street and sections of Wharf Parkway. Many different exciting activities and events are planned for the weekend of June 30-July 2 to mark the grand opening of our town center and the marina.
