AMLI Residential, one of Austin’s — and the nation’s — largest multifamily developers , said it plans to build a $30 million, 279- unit apartment complex near the site of the planned town center at the Mueller community in Northeast Austin. AMLI expects to break ground in the first quarter of 2013, with the first units available in the third or fourth quarter of 2014, said Taylor Bowen, executive vice president of AMLI Residential. The apartment complex will be built along Simond Avenue and Mattie and McBee streets, across from Mueller’s 30- acre Lake Park and the planned home for Austin Children’s Museum. AMLI’s announcement comes amid growing demand in the region’s apartment market , where rents and occupancies have reached record levels this year, fueled by job and population growth and a relatively scarce supply of new units coming to market, though thousands are planned. The new complex will have a mix of efficiencies and one- and two-bedroom units. Some units — 15 percent...

The mood was tense, the hour was late and the conflict had a familiar ring to it. Ansca Homes is seeking permission to build 206 apartments on Hypoluxo Road, and the neighbors were not happy. “There are two sets of property rights here, the existing communities and the people who want to build,” Palm Beach County Commissioner Shelly Vana said. “I hope the answer is something everybody can live with.” Vana reminded the homeowners that workforce housing , which accounts for 142 of the 206 apartments, is a mandatory program heavily supported by the Palm Beach County Commission . It was declared to be at a crisis level in 2005. Vana added that it would behoove the developer to make any concessions it could, even though some had already been made. At the Wednesday night meeting west of Boynton Beach, a dozen homeowners representing six nearby communities called the planned apartment complex “an eyesore” and “a Pandora’s box.” Homeowners mainly objected to the rental units, which they...
