An apartment project on a piece of the 681-acre Briger tract, envisioned as a residential and commercial link to the Scripps Research Institute, has been submitted to city planners for development review. At this point these are all proposed to be rental units.
A Florida Crystals apartment division has proposed a 10-building, 361-unit apartment and townhouse complex called Atlantico at Palm beach Gardens. The development is just east of I-95, walking distance across Donald Ross Road from the future Phase 2 of the biomedical research campus, whose employees the developer hopes to attract as tenants, said Caroline Villanueva, South Florida external affairs manager for Florida Crystals.
The 13-acre Atlantico site is just north of a 58-acre site where developer Kolter Group won city council approval in June to build 360 houses and townhomes. The Kolter development is called Alton.
