TerraBella Village Unscathed by Hurricane Isaac

Nothing tests the mettle of a neighborhood’s infrastructure and overall integrity like a Hurricane. TerraBella Village came through Hurricane Isaac with huge success and maintained continuous power, television, internet service, and phone service through extreme weather circumstances. Most importantly, there were no flooding issues at TerraBella due to its well-designed, subsurface drainage system and favorable location north of Interstate 12 in Covington.

TerraBella’s success in weathering Hurricane Isaac can be attributed to its unique location, underground utilities, and private fiber-optic network. TerraBella Village is equipped with a carrier-grade, fiber-optic network that is analogous to mission-critical environments like military bases, hospitals, and universities. Through this network, a bulk telecommunications package, including television, internet, and optional telephone, is provided to residents and commercial tenants.

For more information on our Fiber-to-the-Home network, lot availability and homes for sale, please go to our website at www.terrabellavillage.com or call our Information Center at 985.871.7171.

2012 Parade of Homes an Award-Winning Success


The 2012 St. Tammany Home Builders Association’s Parade of Homes event was a huge success for TerraBella Village and lots of fun! TerraBella showcased four homes in the Parade of Homes by four different builders. Visitors turned out in record numbers for the three weekend event, according to Ron Lee Homes who reported that 1939 visitors toured their parade home. Builders Ron Lee Homes and Conbeth Development declared it was by far the most visitors they had seen at a Parade of Homes event in the 20-plus years each of them had been participating.

TerraBella Village’s Sales & Marketing Director, Jeff Sonnenberg, was on hand in the Village Square to provide visitors with maps and information about the neighborhood, while TerraBella business GMFS Lending provided free ice cold water to hot and thirsty visitors. Those touring the parade townhome built by Martin & Malkemus were treated to shrimp expertly grilled by Mark Malkemus in the townhome’s spacious courtyard, perfect for entertaining.

During the second weekend of the Parade of Homes, TerraBella held its first ever ‘TerraBella Art Walk’ sponsored by Tripolo Gallery. The Art Walk brought out residents, business owners and plenty of visitors to the TerraBella Village community. A great time was had by everyone as we celebrated the evening with fantastic art, libations, good company, great food and live music. It was so much fun, that we’ve decided to do it again next year!

We are very excited to announce that two of our builders received awards from the St. Tammany Home Builders Association for their parade homes in TerraBella Village: Ron Lee Homes won 2012 Best Floor Plan and 2012 Realtors’ Choice award for their parade home on Bocage Court and Highland Homes was awarded 2012 Best Curb Appeal for their parade home on Chretien Point Ave. Congratulations to Ron Lee Homes and Highland Homes! We are very pleased and honored to have them as members of the TerraBella Builders Guild, as we are all our guild members.

We are also excited to announce that one of our builders, Highland Homes, sold their parade home the first week of the event. Congratulations!

We look forward to next year’s Parade of Homes and hope to see you there!

Now We're Cookin'!

Tony Bosco's at TerraBella
Authentic Italian Cuisine


TerraBella Village is excited to announce that Bosco's Italian Café, a Northshore favorite, has opened a brand new location at TerraBella Village in Covington. Their new restaurant, Tony Bosco's at TerraBella, is located in the heart of TerraBella, directly adjacent to the fountain in the Village Square. The stunning décor, with its down home touches and cosmopolitan flair, delivers a unique dining experience unparalleled in this area.

Family-owned and operated since 2002, Bosco's Italian Café on Hwy. 59 in Mandeville has become increasingly popular over the years. Owner-Chef Tony Bosco believes the time is right to expand his business and TerraBella Village is the perfect place to do so. Tony chose to invest in TerraBella because of the quality and concept of the Village. He believes his new restaurant is a great fit with TerraBella's walkable neighborhood and Village Square. Whether it's a quiet, romantic evening or a live musical performance in the Village Square, Tony wants diners to take time to savor the food, drink a glass of wine, and enjoy the community atmosphere of TerraBella.

The folks at TerraBella are extremely pleased to have Bosco's open
their second location at TerraBella Village. "Everyone loves his food and the family atmosphere can't be beat," says Jeff Sonnenberg, Sales & Marketing Director for TerraBella. "Our developers were searching for a local restaurant that was known for its great food and hospitality. Tony Bosco's at TerraBella provides our residents and guests with both."

Tony's philosophy on food is straightforward: "good food takes time, and should always be prepared fresh." Bosco's uses only the finest ingredients to prepare authentic Italian cuisine. Diners will find the service is fast and friendly and the portions are generous. "You won't go home hungry," according to Tony.

Bosco's menu is both delicious and diverse, ranging from salads and sandwiches to signature dishes like Oysters Anthony and Crabmeat Buster. Tony Bosco's at TerraBella features the same core menu as their Hwy. 59 location, but offers more salads and sandwiches.
  
Whatever the occasion, Bosco's will provide the TerraBella community with extraordinary food and service. If you're looking for something quick and convenient for dinner, call in an order to pick up on the way home. Their Italian deli and market is another easy option, offering a nice selection of specialty items such as wine and cheese. For parties and meetings, a private dining room is available for gatherings up to 24 people. Also keep in mind that Bosco's has a special catering menu and offers off-site catering for any size function.
