McShane Construction Company will build the apartment component of the 19-acre mixed-use development approved by the Kennesaw City Council last December.
The company announced its plans in the following press release:
Auburn, Alabama – McShane Construction Company was selected by repeat client TPA Residential to build Kennesaw Apartments. Located in downtown Kennesaw, Georgia, the new multi-family residence will offer 318 units and 10,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space as part of a greater mixed-use project that also includes 44 townhomes, a retail outparcel and a linear park space.
“We’re excited to get started on another multi-family project with our partners at TPA Residential,” shared Scott Hoppa, Senior Vice President & Regional Manager at McShane. “Kennesaw Apartments will be a beautiful state-of-the-art development in a great location for tenants.”
Positioned on a 19-acre site, the three- and four-story wood framed building will feature a façade of brick and fiber cement siding. Additionally, there will be a precast parking garage attached to the building. Units will be offered in one to three-bedroom floor plans.
Shared tenant amenities will include two courtyards, an outdoor swimming pool, grilling stations, hammocks, outdoor dining and lounge areas, multiple arbors, a fitness room and a gaming/club room.
