Area senior communities looking to attract boomers
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) – Development partners Leaf River Group and Bristol Development Group, as well as Mobile City officials, broke ground on Meridian at the Port, a large upscale apartment complex on Water Street.
The more than $51 million project will feature 267 luxury apartments, a saltwater pool, a dog park, roof top lounge, and more. The complex is expected to be completed by 2019. Rent is estimated to be between $1000-1200.
Tuesday morning, the development sent new artist renderings of the complex and they can be seen below in the slideshow.
This residential development is part of an ongoing effort to revitalize the downtown area. City officials hope development like Meridian at the Port will make Water Street more pedestrian-friendly.
“We’ve got to find ways to get people from across the street here at the various hotels and some level of interaction with our waterfront. This project accomplishes that vision to some degree,” says District 2 Councilman Levon C. Manzie
The groundbreaking of Meridian at the Port comes just weeks after plans were announced to reconstruct Merchants Plaza.
