About Gainesville's Near Uf

Exciting news in the Gainesville apartments market!

Trimark Properties has announced that they will not be renewing or renting out their popular Oak Lawn apartments for the Fall 2009 leasing season. Instead, the award-winning development company will be performing a complete redevelopment on the site begining in August 2009. The redevelopment project will add several buildingds to the current site plan and will include a complete renovation of both the interior and exterior of the current apartments.

For those of you not familiar with Oak Lawn, allow me to give you some background information. Trimark Properties purchased the apartment complex 2 years ago. The small parcel is located two blocks from the University of Florida campus and walking distance to UF classes. It is also located on an important thoroughfaire, across the street from the Alachua General Hospital (also known as Shands at AGH), which has recently been slated to be closed during the 2009 or 2010 year (see several articles in the Gainesville Sun newspaper). Currently, there are three buildings on the site, each holding a total of four apartments. Each of the current apartments are 2 Bedroom / 1 Bathroom floorplans that are rented out of the main Trimark Properties Leasing Office located on 13th Street. The site also includes a parking lot and laundry room, and is across the street from the popular and luxurious Ashton Lane apartment complex.

The new development plans have not been announced in detail. It will be interesting to hear what Trimark Properties has in mind for this important parcel! Check out their Gainesville apartments website for further details.

While building is down throughout most of the country, Trimark Properties announced earlier this week that they will be breaking ground on two new Gainesville apartments near the Univeristy of Florida campus this month. The two new developments are slated for July 2009 completion, and will be ready long in advance of their August 2009 move-in dates for new residents.

Trimark Properties has built several new luxury apartment complexes in the last few years.

Previous Gainesville Apartments Developed:

• Ashton Lane
• Heritage Oaks
• Royale Palms
• Camden Court

This year, the Trimark Properties development team will be building:

• New Phase of Luxury apartments at Stratford Court
• Sabal Palms
  

Trimark Properties just added the webpages for these two properties to their Gainesville apartments website earlier this month. The Sabal Palms Gainesville Apartments page shows that there will be three floorplans, including two different 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom floorplans, and a spacious 4 bedroom / 4 bathroom floorplan. One of the three bedroom floorplans includes a bay window area.

Stratford Court's new phase will be announced in further detail in the next few weeks. Stratford Court will offer mainly 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom and 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom floorplans.

Both apartment complexes will be within 2 blocks of the UF campus and walking distance to Sorority Row in the popular University Heights overlay. Features will include gourmet kitchens with granite countertops, energy efficient appliance packages, real maple wood cabinetry in the kitchen and luxury bathrooms, washer/dryers included, oversized windows for abundant sunlights, picture shelves in each big bedroom, dual master suites, private luxury bathrooms with porcelain tile and pedestal sinks, designer light fixtures and upgraded black appliance packages.
