Construction has begun on a 211-unit apartment complex in Hillsborough County.
Suburban Chicago-based Wingspan Development Group, which has been making moves in the market recently, has started work on the complex in Riverview, outside Tampa and near Manatee County.
The community will be called The Whitt and is being built on Big Bend Road just off Interstate 75.
Wingspan says the community will be made up of three four-story buildings with one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 989 square feet.
The units will come with “high-end finishes and access to resort-style amenities.” Among the amenities are the standards found in most modern apartment communities as well as horseshoe and cornhole courts and a 24-hour package concierge system.
Wingspan is working on the project with ABC Capital Corp., and the construction will be handled by Nicholas & Associates, a sister company of the Mount Prospect, Illinois, developer.
The new complex is the latest local project for the company which recently opened a new complex and sold another.
The new one, which opened in June, is Niche, a six-story, 251-unit apartment community at 1116 W. Carmen St. just outside of downtown and near the University of Tampa. Units include studios to three-bedrooms ranging in size from 326 square feet to 1,173 square feet.
The one that sold is Jade at Hyde Park, a 192-unit community at 608 N. Willow Ave. The property has 3,200 square feet of ground floor retail and units include studio to four bedrooms ranging in size from 463 square feet to 1,421 square feet.
The buyer was San Francisco-based Hamilton Zanze. According to Hillsborough County property records, the real estate investment firm paid $50.81 million.
