Jacksonville, FL -
LandSouth Construction, a Jacksonville-based general contractor specializing in multi-family construction, has completed the resort-style community clubhouse and first apartment building at Bella Apartment Homes, a 432-unit luxury apartment community located four miles west of Disney World’s main entrance in Osceola County, Fla.
With costs totaling $56 million, Bella Apartment Homes is currently one of the largest U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Program Section 221 (d) (4) contracts in the state of Florida. The HUD program is for multi-family rental apartments and consists of loans that combine construction and permanent financing for apartments. In addition, the program is for new construction or major rehab projects and contains no rent restrictions, meaning it can be used for market rate or rent restricted properties.
“We started construction on Bella Apartment Homes in the early summer of 2009 and are on schedule with all construction timing and budgets,” said James Pyle, president and CEO of LandSouth Construction. “Our goal is to have the project complete by September so residents can enjoy this community and its convenient location to the Orlando area.”
The community’s resort-style clubhouse includes an Olympic-sized pool, spa, putting green, fitness center and tot lot. When complete, Bella Apartment Homes will contain 432 luxury apartment units in 12 four-story elevator buildings with parking for 864 cars. One-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments are available ranging in size from 834 square feet to 1,336 square feet. Apartments are available for lease now and more information is available by calling Bella Apartment Homes at (407) 397-1800.
Bella Apartment Homes is situated on approximately 30 acres along the new Route 429 Expressway and U.S. Route 192. Surrounded by Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the community is located 15 miles southwest of downtown Orlando and four miles west of Disney World’s main entrance.
