Longview apartments 95% full; 500 underway

LONGVIEW – Wellington Grande, another apartment complex of more than 200 units, is being built just outside North Longview.

It is located on US 259 next to an existing 216-unit complex known as The Reserve at Towne Crossing. The new complex will bring the number of units now under construction to 550.

Work on the 220-unit Paladin Luxury Apartments began in September, while the 78-unit Amberwood Place Apartments and 46-unit The Woods are expected to come online within the coming months.

“Everybody is stating right now they’re about 95 percent full,” said Jackie Warren, executive of the Greater Longview Area Apartment Association, referring to apartment managers across the city.

Here is a look at the construction:

•  Paladin Luxury Apartments — 220 units between US 259 and Tryon Rd.
•  Amberwood Place Apartments — 78 units northwest of McCann Rd. and Hawkins Pkwy.
•  The Woods — 46 units off Judson Rd. north of Magnolia Ln.
