Downtown Midland: 300-unit Sun Dance Creek underway

MIDLAND – Construction is underway on the $24 million, 300-unit Sun Dance Creek Apartments along Edwards St., north of downtown. Koontz McCombs is constructing the project.

The apartment complex, comprised of multiple three-story buildings, will have one- and two-bedroom units, a clubhouse, pool and a cabana building, according to Carl Fairchild, project superintendent.

The entire project should be finished within 14 to 16 months, but the clubhouse and the first 48 units are slated to be complete by September 2014.

Sun Dance Creek Apartments will be similar to other luxury apartments around Midland like the Blue Ridge Apartments and Midway Station apartments, according to Steve Thorpe, City of Midland building official.

One-bedroom apartments at Blue Ridge range between $1,367 and $1,412 a month. Rent for a two-bedroom apartment is currently between $1,587 and $1,672.

At Midway Station, a one-bedroom apartment’s rent sits between $1,399 and $1,625 a month. Two-bedroom apartments rent for between $1,825 and $2,010 a month.

San Antonio-based Koontz McCombs will oversee the construction, leasing and management of the apartments.
