Verde Vista to Offer Upscale Living Near Jobs, Shopping, Entertainment
ASHEVILLE, NC, Oct. 3, 2011 – Construction is underway on Verde Vista Apartment Homes (top left rendering), the City of Asheville’s newest infill apartment community.
The environmentally-friendly community will be just three miles from downtown. It is being developed through a joint venture between Greenville, SC-based Davis Property Group and Asheville-based Six Oaks, LLC. Six Oaks has owned the land since 2004.
The $20 million multifamily development will have 257 upscale residences on a 15-acre hillside offering spectacular views of Beaucatcher Mountain. Floorplans will include one, two- and three bedroom homes, as well as three-story townhomes.
“This project has a little something for everybody in terms of floor plan types and sizes, as well as rental rates,” said developer Russ Davis (middle right photo), founder of Davis Property Group. “Plus, this marks the first new construction of a top-quality apartment community of this scale, this close to downtown Asheville, in decades.”
Just off Bleachery Boulevard between Swannanoa Rd. and Fairview Rd., Verde Vista is close to the Fairview/I-240 interchange. This means quick and easy access to the entire metro area, including outdoor recreational activities. Plus, residents will be able to walk right next door to shopping and leisure activities at Riverbend Marketplace, as well as nearby River Ridge Shopping Center. It’s just minutes to Biltmore Village and Asheville Mall (middle left photo)
Verde Vista’s energy-efficient design is meant to help residents save on utility bills while helping the environment. The completed community will seek to obtain an ENERGY STAR certification.
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping to minimize operating costs and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. The community will also feature charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) such as the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf.
Amenities will include a resort-style pool with cabana and garden plaza, where residents can take yoga or pilates classes. The outdoor entertaining area will also have a kitchen and stacked stone fireplace. The clubhouse will boast a state-of-the-art fitness center, clubroom with large flat screen TV’s, computer lounge, coffee bar and free Wi-Fi access.
Each apartment will have a washer and dryer, nine-foot ceilings and plank flooring. Some buildings will have elevators. Pets will be welcome at the new community, which will also feature an enclosed dog walk area. Some residents may choose to rent individual garage space.
The buildings, designed by Watts Leaf Architects of Charlotte, will feature upscale architectural components to blend well with the surrounding community.
The general contractor is C.F Evans Construction Company of Orangeburg, SC. Charlotte’s Design Resources Group is the landscape architect. Asheville’s Civil Design Concepts is providing engineering services. Construction financing is provided by Bank of America. The first apartments are expected to become available in May of 2012.
