VIRGINIA BEACH
Can you get some information on the huge project that is taking place behind the Harris Teeter on Nimmo Parkway? – Ken Beatty
Construction is under way for Southern Pines Apartments – a nine building, gated, luxury apartment community that will open by late next summer. The apartment complex’s address is 2476 Nimmo Pkwy.
The $44 million project will include a two-story clubhouse, fitness center, dog park and walking trails, according to Richard Hughes, superintendent for Marlyn Development Corporation of Virginia Beach. Many homes on the 17.5 acre site will overlook Virginia Beach National Golf Club.
Access to the 242-unit complex will be from the intersection of Nimmo Parkway and George Mason Drive, where a new traffic signal has recently been installed.
Here are some questions and answers from recently published “Around Town” items:
What’s that huge building on Independence Boulevard? The construction of Old Donation Center Kemps Landing Magnet School is about half complete and is expected to open by fall 2017. It’s a 225,785 square foot facility.
What’s going up on Diamond Springs Road? An apartment complex with 180 units housed in two, four-story buildings has an estimated project completion date of early 2017. The location is behind the office building at 1300 Diamond Springs Road and Northampton Boulevard.
What is that new building going up next to the hhgregg store in Virginia Beach? Mini Price Storage will have 1000 units inside a 150,000 square foot building that is three stories. It may open in November.
