Two En Suite Upgrades for Newly Built Modern Homes


 A longtime resident of Sharon, Massachusetts, Michael Intoccia has established a real estate developer career for more than 30 years. Michael Intoccia counts major real estate triumphs in that span, including the construction and renovation of the Cape Club of Sharon and the Cape Club of Falmouth, among other luxury and modern home projects.


As the United States real estate market continues to witness housing shortages, existing home remodeling and new construction upgrades are becoming salient. En suite upgrades are some of the most rewarding. New homes might have two modern upgrades for bathrooms: radiant floor heating and towel warmers.


Radiant floor heating is an in-floor heating system that makes the bathroom warm and comfortable. It is energy-efficient and also considered a luxury upgrade for modern en suites. The ideal time to add this upgrade is during new home construction. Installing the upgrade in an existing home is possible. However, it requires tearing up the existing floor.


Towel warmers heat wet towels or bathrobes to make them ready for use. These upgrades are suitable for homes with quality electrical installation. Modern towel warmers come in many styles and materials to add luxury looks, such as gold and matte black or oil-rubbed bronze.

How Residential Real Estate Developers Predict and Apply Trends


 Michael Intoccia is a Sharon, Massachusetts-based real estate developer with more than 35 years of experience. The Cape Club of Sharon and the Cape Club of Falmouth are two of Michael Intoccia’s major real estate development projects.


Many undeveloped lands in the United States have transitioned into commercial and residential properties thanks to the work of real estate developers. Residential real estate developers acquire real assets, improve them, and sell them to clients (often homebuilders). Commercial real estate developers help erect commercial buildings on land or improve outdated properties to revitalize regional commercial business activities.


Every residential real estate developer invests in a region when they buy a parcel of land or improve real estate property in that region. Since the generic goal of developers is to generate a return on their investments, they often seek a head start in their strategies by researching locations and predicting trends. The prime goal is to invest in locations or markets with minimal risk of crashing in the future. To that aim, real estate developers look for trends like the migration rate of Millenials to a region or the rate at which new couples buy homes in an area.


Real estate developers may incorporate ongoing consumer trends into their property development strategies. For example, many consumers are looking to buy homes powered by clean energy sources to minimize air pollution, like greenhouses. In response to this trend, some developers have invested in solar panels.

Why Golf Courses are the New Frontiers for Real Estate Developers

An accomplished Massachusetts-based real estate developer, Michael Intoccia has successfully completed numerous real estate projects during this career that spans over three decades. For his love of golf, Michael Intoccia has also ventured into redeveloping golf courses, including his recently completed Cape Club of Sharon project with modern amenities. The golf course redevelopment project consists of 52 luxury townhomes with 12 having already been completed.

Golf course redevelopment is gaining popularity as lush, green and upscale golf course neighborhoods are increasingly being considered as suitable sites for redevelopment to include residential facilities. As land to build continuously becomes scarce, many single-family home real estate developers are considering both current and former golf courses as prime sites for redevelopment. The increased interest to have residential units in golf courses arises out of the need to develop more single-family homes in upscale and scenic communities. Target golf courses are underutilized, abandoned and struggling financially and therefore likely experiencing difficulties maintaining the courses.

When properly designed and executed, golf course redevelopments can benefit all the parties involved that is golf course operators, communities and real estate developers. However, golf course assessment for real estate purposes is complex and needs to be supervised by professionals. For instance, an environmental impact assessment should be conducted by experts with technical expertise to ensure the natural ecosystem is not interfered with and an in-depth environmental due diligence is performed including remediation plans before approvals are granted.
