Construction recently began, and the entire project is expected to wrap up in 2027.

On the 48-acre property located at 1951 Grants Mill Road, there will be several living options for future residents, ranging from 1-to-3 bedroom floor plans:

Garden-style apartments
Townhomes
Carriage houses
Cottage-style homes

The focus of the community, according to contractors Capstone Building Corp. and developer StoneRiver Company, is to provide high-class living with a resort-inspired amenity package.
