We look forward to joining the neighborhood and adding to our Arizona presence.”

We’re eager to join the neighborhood.”  

Situated at 10485 League Line Road and in close proximity to Interstate 45, Beckett West Fork provides residents excellent regional access to employment hubs such as The Woodlands and North Houston. Additionally, the community is within a 30-minute drive of City Place, a master-planned development home to 20,000 jobs and the new headquarters of ExxonMobil.

The podium-style community, which will feature 399 apartment homes and first broke ground in June, will boast a quiet, comfortable locale less than two miles east of the picturesque Puget Sound.

Situated at 17888 Linden Avenue N, Modera Shoreline sits in an emerging Shoreline neighborhood anchored by a Trader Joe’s and a Fred Meyer grocery store, along with the newly built Shorewood High School. Residents will have prime access to key artery Aurora Avenue, but will be far enough removed from the bustling thoroughfare that they won’t experience noise-related disruptions. 

The community also sits within one mile of Interstate 5 and within close proximity to several high-speed transit options, including a light rail station that will open in 2024. This will enable residents to quickly connect to the thriving employment sectors contained within Downtown, the Eastside and the greater Seattle area.

The community, which will feature 353 homes and 32,280 square feet of retail space, joins the 351-home original phase that began welcoming its first residents in July. The communities are the key residential component of the Cornerstone at Downtown Coral Springs development, which is adding a variety of new living, dining, retail and entertainment options to the city’s busiest corner.

“When Phase II is complete, local renters will have access to more than 700 apartment homes and approximately 40,000 square feet of retail space,” said Andrea Rowe, senior managing director of development in South Florida for Mill Creek Residential. “We believe these offerings will add tremendous value to the epicenter of the city, and we're thrilled to be part of the epic Cornerstone at Downtown Coral Springs development. With Phase II, we are not aiming to duplicate the original phase, but to offer a distinct set of amenities and a unique-but-similarly-refined living experience.” 

Situated at 3310 University Drive, the second phase of Modera Coral Springs is positioned directly east of Coral Springs' new City Hall building, just north of the recently completed Downtown ArtWalk and within a short drive of the Sawgrass Expressway, which links to Florida’s Turnpike and provides connectivity to the greater South Florida area. Firmly amidst the area's most prominent entertainment and employment centers, the community also offers near-direct access to The Walk of Coral Springs, Promenade at Coconut Creek, Tradewinds Park and many additional attractions. 

The additional phase will offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes with select den layouts and an average size of 1,021 square feet. A distinct set of community amenities at Phase II will include three elevated courtyards with manicured landscaping, a resort-style swimming pool in one of the courtyards, an elegant multipurpose clubhouse overlooking the pool deck, outdoor barbecue stations, museum-inspired lobby and mailroom, coworking spaces and a club-quality fitness facility.
