This 120-unit project will feature age-restricted apartments located near HCA Florida Bayonet Point Hospital. The community aims to address the urgent need for senior housing in Pasco County, particularly on the west side where existing facilities are aging and damaged by hurricanes. Phase I is scheduled for completion this fall, while Phase II will be finished by spring 2028. The apartments will offer various amenities including a clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center, and dog park.
