Millville By The Sea Opens Its Community Amenity Center

April 28, 2014, Millville, DE – Millville By The Sea hosted a ribbon cutting on Saturday, April 26, 2014, to mark the opening of its showcase community amenity complex. The LifestyleCenter consists of a campus of coastal-style buildings which house a community clubhouse, a pool and pool house, a fitness center and a crab shack pavilion overlooking a six acre lake.

“We are thrilled to be opening this beautiful amenity for our homeowners at Millville By The Sea,” said Chuck Ellison, project manager and VP of Miller & Smith. “It is wonderful to celebrate this milestone with homeowners, business associates and representatives of the Town of Millville and the State of Delaware.”

The April 26 event, which was attended by over 400 people throughout the day, included a ribbon cutting celebration, tours of the LifestyleCenter and a BBQ from Olde South Catering with musical entertainment from local favorites The Poole Brothers.

The LifestyleCenter is a 17,000 square foot campus that has been designed for year-round enjoyment. Outside it includes a resort-style pool featuring a beach-entry, lap lanes, volleyball and basketball areas, splash zone features and a water walk as well as a tranquility zone, a crab shack with outdoor grilling area, several verandas, decks and covered porches, and a six acre lake with walking trails and pier. Inside the LifestyleCenter complex offers dozens of gathering spaces including a large great room with a community kitchen, a pub, a game room, a fitness center, and a wellness studio. Decorated in vibrant, lively colors it features coastal inspired accents not seen elsewhere — such as jelly-fish pendant lights and old-fashioned swimsuit shadow boxes – all designed to celebrate the unique history and natural attractions of the region.

“Millville By The Sea is a shining example of Miller & Smith’s 50 years of experience and passion for creating innovative and imaginative communities,” added Doug Smith, president of Miller & Smith. “We build homes and communities for people who are looking for something special and this LifestyleCenter is just that here in Southern Delaware.”
