The Crossings at Palm Aire Apartments and Lakewood Ranch Senior, both designed by Forum Architecture & Interior Design Inc., are slated to begin construction this year. These will be Verdex’s fourth and fifth project for Eastwind Development and will be managed from the contractor’s Tampa office.
The Crossings at Palm Aire Apartments will consist of seven 3-story and 4-story buildings totaling 315 units on 32 acres with an environmental preserve located in the middle of the project. Amenities include a 7,400 sq. ft., 2-story clubhouse featuring a coffee lounge, game room, co-working space, fitness center and resort-style pool. Completion is scheduled for Summer 2023.
Lakewood Ranch will consist of two 4-story apartment buildings totaling 160 units on 20 acres.
