DAYTONA BEACH Construction work has begun on a new community here aimed at helping to alleviate the area s housing shortage by offering single-family and duplex homes available to rent, as opposed to being available to purchase.
The planned 283-home The Cottages at Daytona Beach is the first of its kind in the area, according to John Albright, the CEO of CTO Realty Growth Inc. We are excited to see this type of high-quality single-family rental product coming to Daytona Beach, he said.
The Cottages at Daytona Beach will help address the need for more available homes, but they won t be cheap. Rental rates are expected in the $1,500-to-$2,000-a-month range.
The new VA clinic will be on a 78-acre site that the developer put under contract to buy from Volusia County Schools in late 2019. The developer, Westlake, Ohio-based Carnegie Management & Development Corp., has agreed to pay $4.5 million for the mostly wooded land.
The federal contract calls for the new VA clinic to provide at least 106,826-square-foot of usable space for a wide range of uses including primary medical care, mental health and specialty medical care services and physical rehabilitation services. The clinic will include an on-site medical laboratory, a pharmacy, and eye and dental clinics. The new clinic is a consolidation and relocation of existing services, said Andrea Madrazo, a spokeswoman for Orlando VA Healthcare Systems.
