Work is well underway on the clubhouse at Milano Lakes, a new apartment community off Collier Boulevard at The Lords Way in South Naples.
"There is a great deal of activity on the site now," said Gary Hains, vice president of FL Star Development, developers of the apartment community. "Exterior stucco is complete and entry pavers have been installed. Work is progressing on the interior drywall and the community swimming pool is being dug."
The clubhouse at Milano Lakes is a 5,488-square-foot building that reflects the influence of Mediterranean architecture and will be the centerpiece of social gatherings in the community. The interior was created by Design Group West and will include architectural ceiling detail upgrades, a custom designed entertainment wall and a resort-style pool deck complete with cabana striped market umbrellas.
A special feature is built-in banquet seating detail for lounging and conversations around a full size pool table. Facilities include a resort-style swimming pool and a fitness center. A children’s playground is planned to round out the amenities.
"Construction is currently on schedule and the clubhouse will be completed and ready for residents’ enjoyment when the first residents move in," Hains said.
Located on a 23-acre site, Milano Lakes will include 296 apartment homes in eight buildings, offering one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. Within the community, 96 detached garages are planned.
Occupants will be able to choose from four floor plans, ranging from a one-bedroom design with 808 air-conditioned square feet and 889 total square feet to a three-bedroom apartment home with 1,439 air-conditioned square feet and 1,545 total square feet. Each unit will include laundry facilities, a master suite with a walk-in closet and dual sinks in the master bath, an island kitchen with a dining area, and a lanai.
Hains said the community is on schedule to make the first apartments available for occupancy by first quarter 2018.
Milano Lakes is being developed by an affiliate of FL Star, a conglomerate of real estate entities led by Gary Hains and David E. Torres.
Other projects by FL Star include Sapphire Cove, a new community of single-family homes off Collier Boulevard in Naples, and Arrowhead Reserve, a community of single-family homes in Immokalee.
FL Star also provides management services for commercial and industrial buildings for real estate owners and condominium associations including maintenance, collection of rents and financial reporting.
