BRADENTON — Homebuilder and real estate development company Pearl Homes is moving forward with several developments in the Manatee area, focusing on using sustainable building methods and creating healthy spaces in the wake of the coronavirus.

Pearl Homes will launch its workforce housing communities with The Met, a 200-unit apartment community planned for the former Manatee Inns site, according to a statement. The Met is expected to include studios as well as one-, two- and three-bedroom units and art studio spaces for residents and the community. It will also include space for local food vendors and partnerships with nearby fitness centers.

Bradenton-based Pearl Homes then plans to complete construction of The Epic, a 27-unit workforce housing project also near the heart of downtown Bradenton, the release adds.
