American rental community developer Mill Creek Residential has celebrated the ground-breaking of a mixed-use apartment community in Coral Springs, Florida, US.

Modera Coral Springs Phase II is set to feature 353 housing units and 32,280ft² of retail area.

This will be added to the 351-unit Coral Springs Phase I, which began taking in residents earlier in July 2023.

The communities are part of the residential component of the Cornerstone at Downtown Coral Springs development.

Coral Springs Phases I and II will be developed to achieve the National Green Building Standard Silver sustainability certification.

Phase II residents are anticipated to move in by late 2025.

Mill Creek Residential South Florida senior managing director for development Andrea Rowe said: “When Phase II is complete, local renters will have access to more than 700 apartment homes and approximately 40,000ft² of retail space.

“With Phase II, we are not aiming to duplicate the original phase, but to offer a distinct set of amenities and a unique but similarly refined living experience.”

Phase II will include one, two and three-bedroom floor plans with an average floor size of 1,021ft².

The phase will feature three elevated courtyards, a multipurpose clubhouse, outdoor barbecue stations and a museum-inspired lobby.

The interiors of the properties will be designed the same as in the previous phase. Features will include 9ft ceilings, wood plank-style flooring and private patios or balconies.
