Nearly 600 adult housing apartments planned for area

An announcement of three new adult housing communities is expected to bring nearly 600 apartment units to the Tampa Bay area all the way down to South Naples. 

FK Architecture is the brains behind the new projects' designs, which include Solea Wellen Park in Venice, Amberlin Wiregrass Ranch in Wesley Chapel and Amberlin South Naples in Collier County. The 55-plus communities are designed to be “resort-style” with modern home designs and amenities. 

“We’re extremely proud of our designs for these three developments,” Kimberly Hellekson, managing principal, says in a news release. “There is a strong interest in active adult housing, especially in Florida, and we are proud to design modern housing with a variety of amenities, community clubhouses and gardens.”
