Lakefront Resort Condo Sales in Full Swing



    DELAVAN, Wis., Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- Delavan Resort Holdings, owners

of Lake Lawn Resort, today announced that the City of Delavan Common

Council has provided final approval for its next phase of development,

allowing construction on the $ 80 million+ Villas of Harbor's Edge project

to begin August 2008.



    Lake Lawn Resort (http://www.lakelawnresort.com) anticipates that

owners of the new Villas, which feature 130 new two and three-story luxury

resort condos priced from $499,000 to $1 million, will take occupancy in

the spring of 2009. Amenities include lushly landscaped grounds, boardwalk

and a gated private swimming pool with an open-air pool house featuring a

poolside bar and grill. The Villas have been designed for ultimate privacy

and security, with secured semi-private elevators that will service no more

than two units per floor, and an intercom/remote lock guest entry system.

Housekeeping, room service, laundry and owner locker services will be

available with all units.



    "We are grateful for the Council's approval of our project and look

forward to beginning construction of this phase of our expansion," said Pat

Nelson, president of Delavan Resort Holdings.



    "Having visited the property and being a licensed real estate

professional in both Wisconsin and Illinois, I can see the tremendous value

this will add to Delavan and Walworth County. It's a very attractive

addition to the resort that offers unique amenities to owners and guests,"

said Mike Culat, President-Elect of Lakes Area REALTORS Association.



    Thomas Ruhs, chief executive officer of Delavan Resort Holdings said

that interest in the luxury condos has been high, due to the lakefront

location and access to the marina. For resort guests and property owners

alike, the resort features a 165 slip marina with fuel services, launch and

store. Also available at the resort's boat rental pavilion are Kayaks,

pedal boats, jet skis and pontoon boats for rent.



    In addition to the condo complex, Lake Lawn has completed nearly $45

million in improvements to the resort since 2004, most recently renovating

the interior courtyard to accommodate meeting breakouts, receptions and

weddings and expanding its Lookout Bar & Eatery, installing a new pier for

"boat up" access to the property and all new meeting and social event

space.



    Lake Lawn Resort, owned by Delavan Resort Holdings, is located on 258

acres of wooded lakeside land with approximately two miles of shoreline on

Delavan Lake. The Resort is less than a two hour drive from Chicago and 45

minutes from Milwaukee. Lake Lawn offers a full complement of indoor and

outdoor activities, including a lakeside 18-hole golf course, full- service

spa, courtyard shopping, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis and

more. For more information, visit http://www.lakelawnresort.com or call
