Permits are in for review for the 400-unit Ciel Apartments planned near the Florida Blue Deerwood Campus in Southside.
The city is reviewing applications for the $38 million construction project at 4929 Skyway Drive, at northeast Butler and Southside boulevards.
Ciel will comprise six four-story apartment buildings, a two-story clubhouse, a single-level leasing center, a single-story maintenance building and two single-story parking garages.
Previously filed plans for the 16.6-acre site also show an electric car-charging station, playground, dog park and more.
Units comprise 232 one-bedroom, 144 two-bedroom and 24 three-bedroom units.
WRH Deerwood LLC, part of WRH Properties Inc. in St. Petersburg, is the developer. The architect is Humphreys & Partners Architects Florida LLC of Maitland.
WRH Realty Services Inc. has an office in Jacksonville. Jacksonville-based Vestcor Inc. is one of its clients and WRH manages many of its area properties.
WRH Realty Services said Friday it did not have marketing information for the Ciel property.
The vacant land in Deerwood Park North is owned by GuideWell Group Inc. GuideWell Mutual Holding Corp. is the parent company of Florida Blue.
Florida Blue said it didn’t plan to use the property, so it considered the sale a good opportunity.
City Council enacted ordinance 2016-724 in January to rezone the land from one Planned Unit Development to another to permit multifamily use.
