Distinctive Dunes
Distinctive Resorts and Residences — a luxury resort, condominium, and cooperative operator on the South Fork — has started the 2011 season by expanding its portfolio with the addition of Ocean Dunes in Amagansett. Ocean Dunes has 63 apartments that are available for purchase or rent. It is on four acres on Bluff Road.
Adam Manson, the managing partner of Distinctive Resorts, acquired the Panoramic View in Montauk in 2007. The Panoramic started life in 1957 as a motel and has gone through several renovations and reincarnations over the years. In the past six months, Distinctive Resorts has closed a number of deals in excess of $3 million there. Mr. Manson has said that residential sales at the Panoramic View have far outpaced the last two years, as luxury buyers have returned to the market.
Distinctive Resorts said that over the winter, the Panoramic View had pre-booked 70 percent of its summer-season resort rooms.
