Five-month project expected to be complete in April, enhance 120-unit complex
Whispering Pines Condominiums will build a $500,000 multi-use facility that will feature an indoor heated pool for year-round use, according to the President of Whispering Pines Condominiums Homeowners Association Lanning Wynn.
The 2,578-square-foot state-of-the-art structure will cost $500,000 and also will include a sauna, a hot tub, an advanced exercise/fitness room, an innovative game room, changing facilities and large sundecks overlooking the parkway. The structure will be 80 percent glass and will include a retractable roof and a high-tech dehumidification/HVAC system that will offer a comfortable atmosphere on a constant basis.
Construction is to start in early December, and completion is expected next April. The design is by SRA Architects of Pigeon Forge, who also designed the original Whispering Pines complex. The general contractor is Arley Johnson Jr. Construction of Pigeon Forge.
The new multi-use facility will complement the development’s other amenities, which include an outdoor heated pool, a hot tub, a lazy river attraction, fitness/exercise room and a grill/picnic pavilion.
“Whispering Pines is very popular with its unit owners and with vacation guests. The multi-use facility, and especially the indoor pool, really will enhance the resort’s year-round appeal,” Wynn said.
Whispering Pines is a six-building complex that has over 100 fully furnished rental units ranging from one to four bedrooms with private balconies. It is on Ogle Drive, overlooking the Pigeon Forge Parkway on one side and offering views of the Great Smoky Mountains on the other side.
