A new 55-plus active living community is coming to the area. It’s called Rise at Nocatee, and when it opens in 2024, it will offer 178 apartment homes just one mile from Nocatee Town Center.
“It’s a great location,” said General Manager Jerry Shafer.
The housing portion of the community will consist of two buildings. The first will be four levels and have a total of 59 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. It is slated for completion in mid-April. The second building will be five levels and consist of one- and two-bedroom apartments, a total of 119. It is slated for completion in mid-June. Both buildings will have elevators.
There are four floor plans for one-bedroom, one-bath homes, which will start at 683 square feet. There are five floor plans for two-bedroom, two-bath homes, which start at 1,140 square feet. Finally, there is one floor plan for three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath homes, which is 1,538 square feet.
The apartments will have ceilings up to 10 feet, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, washer and dryer, high-fiber internet and more.
“Each home also will come with a spacious balcony or patio,” Shafer said. “And all master bedrooms have a walk-in shower.”
The nearly 10,000-square-foot clubhouse will house onsite offices, a yoga room, a 24-hour fitness room, a media and music lounge, a creative arts workshop, a game room and more. It will have a kitchen, and local chefs will be invited for cooking presentations. The clubhouse is slated to be completed by the end of January.
The community will have a lifestyle coordinator, and Rise expects to hold between 20 and 25 activities per month.
“Our goal is to keep everyone very much involved,” Shafer said.
Outside, there will be a pet park, grilling stations, a sun deck and a heated, resort-style pool. Residents will have the option of renting a garage or carport, as well.
“We will have electric vehicle and also golf-cart charging stations, which is a very big amenity here in the Nocatee area,” Shafer said.
The community is a project of Rise, a real-estate company founded in 1995 in Georgia. Initially, Rise started out with student housing before branching out to apartment living and then multifamily properties. Eventually, Rise relocated its corporate office from Valdosta, Georgia, to Jacksonville.
Rise is building another 55-plus community in the Melbourne area. And in the latter part of 2024, it expects to begin construction on another community, this one in Jacksonville in the Butler and Hodges area.
