Ability Housing announced plans for the Villages of New Augustine, the nonprofit affordable-housing developer’s first multifamily community in St. Johns County, Fla.
Villages of New Augustine will be a 92-unit, new construction apartment community located on three parcels totaling approximately 6.5 acres at the intersection of North Volusia Street and Chapin Street in the West Augustine neighborhood of St. Augustine. In addition to four apartment buildings, the site plan includes a community center, with on-site leasing offices; a computer lab, a library; flexible spaces for workshops, training and events; outdoor recreational features, such as playground, pavilion and dedicated walking trail; and 149 parking spaces.
The development is anticipated to break ground in summer 2023.
