Construction is nearing completion on the first of six apartment buildings in the first phase of Leander Lakes Apartments on Route 8 near Dover High School.
The units should be ready for occupancy in early January. Phase I includes six apartment buildings and a 4,000 square foot community center.
The project will eventually consist of ten apartment buildings within the complex, a community center, fitness center and swimming pool.
Sitework got under way a year ago, and the project has been on time according to Emory Hill & Company Director of Construction Brad Kellmyer.
Each apartment building consists of 38,000 square feet and has 24 units with a mix of two and three bedroom apartments. Each apartment has two full baths and either a patio on the ground floor units or a balcony on the upper units.
The developer, Leander Lakes LLC based in Salisbury, MD, has built numerous complexes on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Emory Hill was selected to act as the construction management team to represent the owner, coordinate all subcontracts and act as liaison with to the City of Dover public works department, Kent Soil Conservation, and planning and zoning authorities.
Completion of all 144 units in phase one should be completed by the end of 2016.
Emory Hill & Co. is the construction division of the Emory Hill Companies, which provide Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic region with commercial real estate brokerage, construction, property management, maintenance and residential real estate sales.
