The apartment boom in the Huntsville area is showing no signs of slowing down, at least not in the building permits issued within the last week.
Permits totaled almost $56 million alone for two apartment complexes – The Elsroy and Attain at Bradford Creek – according to Southern Exposure Inc. And construction continues on two townhome and single-family rental communities.
Permits were issued for three $9.8 million buildings for The Elroy at 4514 Research Blvd. The apartments are being developed by Ramston Capital. Batten & Shaw is the builder.
The Elroy will have 191 units, with the Ramston website touting its location near major employers on Interstate 565 in Huntsville and Madison.
Permits for seven $3.7 million buildings were issued for Attain at Bradford Creek at 556 Martin Road near Huntsville International Airport.
Ground was broken last year on the 350-unit apartments. The project is expected to total $90 million when completed. Virginia-based Bonaventure is developing the 22-acre project, while Birmingham-based Doster Construction is leading the onsite construction.
