TAMARAC, FL – CE Development Partners, a joint venture between leading developers EDEN Multifamily and Cypress Equity Investments (CEI), started construction on EDEN West in Tamarac, Florida. The 212-unit Class A project fills a void for brand-new, garden-style apartment product in the growing South Florida submarket.
The venture obtained a $23.66 million senior construction loan from Wells Fargo for the project on April 2, 2021.
EDEN West is being constructed on 6.22 acres at West McNab and North Pine Island roads.
“Our venture was attracted to this development opportunity because of the site’s excellent proximity to major transportation corridors, significant retail and tens of thousands of job opportunities,” EDEN President Jay Jacobson said. “We look forward to delivering new Class A apartment product to the growing City of Tamarac.”
Michael Sorochinsky, CEO of Cypress Equity Investments, added, “Lower density surface parked opportunities are extremely rare in Broward County. In fact, this community is being developed on the site of an empty dilapidated retail center and commercial building.”
MSA Architects is EDEN West’s architect. ANF Group is the general contractor for the project.
CE Development expects to complete construction during the third quarter of 2022.
EDEN West will offer a mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 598 to 1,388 square feet in a pair of 4-story buildings. Interior unit features include white quartz countertops in kitchens and bedrooms; GE stainless steel energy star appliances; floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors; energy efficient full-size washer and dryer; wood-style plank flooring throughout kitchens and living rooms; and private balconies.
The project also will have a centrally located clubhouse with a 24-hour fitness center that accommodates Fitness on Demand™ streaming; yoga/group exercise studio; club room and lounge with televisions and a coffee bar; executive e-lounge; conference room; heated saltwater pool; sundeck courtyard with shaded cabanas; and a veranda featuring an outdoor kitchen and gas barbecue grills. Other amenities include electric car charging stations and a community dog spa.
EDEN West’s site is within four miles of major area employers such as Magic Leap, Convergys, KSM Electronics, University Hospital & Medical Center and City Furniture. There is nearly 38 million square feet of office space within a 20-mile drive of the site. The broader MSA has a 95% apartment occupancy rate and a consistently growing population.
