A new apartment community on Kernan Boulevard is under review with the city.
Waypoint Residential of Atlanta is planning a 301-unit development at northwest Beach and Kernan boulevards near the Earth Works nursery and landscape business.
Plans show West Kernan Apartments would comprise 301 apartments in 12 large buildings and five smaller carriage-style buildings.
There will be 161 one-bedroom, 124 two-bedroom and 16 three-bedroom units.
Nine of the buildings will be arranged around a retention pond, the remainder around the perimeter of the 26.33-acre site. The city assessed a $272,058 fee to mitigate traffic impact.
There will be one primary entrance each from Beach and Kernan boulevards, with a secondary entrance off Kernan that runs between business parcels on Beach and the community.
Plans show two free-standing parking garage buildings with 12 spaces, 96 garage spaces beneath carriage houses and 502 total parking spaces.
Bradley Coe of Colliers International represented Waypoint Residential in the purchase of the property. He said previously that interiors will be high-end and buildings will be three stories tall, excluding the carriage houses. Finishes include nine-foot ceilings, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
The project will have a resort-style amenity package that features a zero-edge pool overlooking a lake and a state-of-the-art fitness center
Waypoint Residential also developed The Point at Tamaya apartments nearby at 3050 Tamaya Blvd.
According to Coe, Waypoint is scheduled to close on the property in June or July, subject to extensions. Construction is expected to start in the third quarter with the delivery of the clubhouse and first units in August 2019.
