A 260-unit potential new build apartment complex will be under consideration by the Ocala Planning and Zoning Commission on September 11, 2023 at it’s regularly scheduled meeting. It is proposed at the northwest corner of the Southeast 31st Street/Southeast 24th Road intersection in Ocala. The potential developer is seeking rezoning for land on 14.67 acres that is currently wooded, sitting between the Brookdale Chambrel Pinecastle senior living community to the north and the South Point subdivision to the south.
The land's owner is Ocala-based 31st Street LLC. Records show that the land was originally purchased in 2005 for $1.83 million from Ocala-based Calamar Properties LC, according to a deed on file with the court clerk.
A rendering of the proposed apartment complex, referred to as HoM Ocala, is on file with the city. It shows eight main buildings, each three or four stories tall and housing 30 or 40 units. The proposed development standards say the buildings will be no more than 55 feet tall. The complex will include a pool, clubhouse, possibly a dog park, walking trails, and two drainage retention areas.
