Those include a fitness center, business center, coffee bar, library, game room and zero entry pool. There will also be a large spa, including fountains, a cabana area with grills and a large pizza oven, fire pit and hammocks.

The property will include a pet park and pet spa as well, which includes a pet bathing and drying station. In designing the space, Maddox said it was also important to developers that it be pet-friendly. About half of RAM’s tenants across the U.S. have pets in their homes, he said.

“And people are more and more inclined to move to those spaces where there are better amenities,” he said. “They want something that’s comfortable for not only them but their pets.”

The inside will include a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, with certain apartments having attached garages.
