three-bedroom floorplans. Carriage house-style units will be available and range from 669 to 1,599 square feet. The development will include a clubhouse, 24-hour fitness center, resort-style pool, nature trails, playground, dog park and common areas. The park area will offer yoga, live music, festivals and activities. Residents can access the area by a pedestrian bridge. The project’s second phase
