Evergreen-Residential Begins Work on Gainesville Project

The property across from the Oaks Mall in Gainesville was initially zoned commercial, with designs to attract more retail. However, Evergreen-Residential talked the town into populating the site with apartment dwellers, guaranteeing business for the mall.

Evergreen-Residential broke ground last month on Evergreen Westside, a 240-unit property across the street from Oaks Mall. Now, residents will have access to a wide variety of restaurants, shopping and entertainment options, as well as a slate of regular community events.

The apartment complex includes five separate apartment buildings, each four stories, and will have apartments ranging from studios to three bedrooms. Additionally, the Gainesville apartment community will feature a 3,400-square-foot clubhouse and a 2,300-square-foot fitness building on opposing sides of the shared pool.

Architect FK Architecture is designing the project.
