The Aurora City Council has approved preliminary plans for a new 340-unit apartment complex planned along North Orchard Road in the city.
The council approved the plans on Dec. 17.
The complex, proposed by national real estate developer Continental Properties, would be called Springs at Aurora and have 17 two-story apartment buildings, a clubhouse and both attached and detached garages, according to a city staff report.
Of the apartment complex’s 340 units, 34 are expected to be studio apartments, 136 are expected to be one-bedroom apartments, 136 are expected to be two-bedroom and 34 are expected to be three-bedroom units.
Springs at Aurora would be constructed on the currently empty land between the Home Depot at 1250 N. Orchard Road and the Holiday Inn at 2424 W. Sullivan Road, site plans show.
Each of the 17 apartment buildings would hold 20 apartments, all of which would have a patio or deck and eight of which would have its own one-car garage. The complex would also have five detached garages with a total of 49 parking spaces along with 365 outdoor parking spaces and other parking spots on driveways in front of the attached garages.
