Earlier this week, RangeWater Real Estate presented their proposed development to the Locust Grove city council. The twenty-five acre project proposes apartments at the intersection of Tanger Blvd and Tanger Drive behind Hampton Inn.

The applicant is requesting a rezoning from C-2 (general commercial) to RM-1 (multifamily residential). The city council will vote at their next meeting in August whether to approve the request.

Tanger Drive Apartments

The Tanger Drive project has a mixture of building types, to include both four-story apartments and smaller two and three-story buildings that are more similar to townhomes. The project has a total of 300 units.

Representatives for the developer estimated about two-hundred units would be in the four-story buildings closest to Tanger Blvd. The remaining 100 units would be in the “townhome-style” buildings on the rear of the property. Some of the later units would also offer attached garages.

The unit distribution includes 60% studio and one bedrooms, 30% two bedrooms and 10% three bedrooms. Rents would be market-based and estimated at $1,500–$2,000+ per month.

Project amenities would include a swimming pool, fitness center and co-working space — common features in new apartment developments. In addition, the development company installs keyless entry for all buildings and units. Access would instead be through a phone app for each tenant.

The city council next meets on Monday, August 1, starting at 6 pm. They will vote on the rezoning request at that time. The council meets at the city’s public safety building.
