New affordable housing community for seniors takes shape in area

The pandemic hasn't stopped Minnesota-based Dominium, an owner, developer and manager of apartment communities nationwide, from marking a big milestone: its first new, ground-up construction apartment project in Florida.

An affordable housing apartment community in Palmetto, in north Manatee County, the project will have 224 units and cater to people who earn an average of 60% of area median income. The community, Reef at Riviera, will be age restricted, with the head of the household required to be 62 or over.
