Joint-venture development partners Fickling & Company, Novare Group and BCDC have broken ground on a 312-unit luxury garden apartment community located on Sunset Boulevard in West Columbia, S.C.
“We are excited to join Novare Group and BCDC again for our latest multifamily project and to bring a new, Class A residential community to this part of the greater Columbia market,” said Roy Fickling, President and CEO of Fickling and Company. “Our community will be situated between a residential area and retail offerings that will create a convenient and accessible lifestyle for our residents.”
With one, two and three-bedroom apartment residences, some with direct access to garages, the 38-acre high-end community will feature market-leading resident amenities including a luxury clubhouse, co-working space, resort-style swimming pool, community pavilion, gourmet outdoor kitchen, pet spa and a pet park.
Due to high barriers to entry, West Columbia has not seen a Class-A multifamily project built since 2011. By the time it is delivered, it will have been over 13 years between new developments. It will be the best-in-class multifamily community in the market
Fickling & Company and Novare Group are the lead developers, with co-sponsor BCDC. Protective Life Insurance Company is the lender. Classic Plains is the general contractor and SGN+A is the architect.
Fickling and Company and its J.V. partners expect delivery of the first units in February 2024.
