Delamarre rendering
McLEAN, VA—Locally-based real estate development and property management firm Kettler recently broke ground on Delamarre, a 379-unit midrise apartment project in the master-planned Celebration community in Osceola County, FL. Construction is under way on the 18.44 acres purchased from The Celebration Co. The project, which has a target opening date of the end of 2020, marks Kettler's first development in Florida.
A building design inspired by Art Deco, Delamarre will be a walkable apartment community comprised of four, elevator-served four-story buildings offering a variety of modern floorplans and upscale finishes. The two-story clubhouse, resort-style pool and landscaped promenade will be the focal point of the community. Delamarre is designed for an active lifestyle complete with a fitness center with studio, resident lounge and cafe.
"Kettler has brought together a top team of architects, designers and engineers to bring this project to fruition," said Kettler President Cindy Fisher. "We seek partners who share in our values, such as commitment to excellence and attention to detail."
Kettler says it will provide an extensive amenity package consistent with best-in-class community design and guest service experiences. Features include a pet spa, indoor bike storage, car wash station, electric vehicle charge stations, 24-hour package delivery lockers, an all-season terrace overlooking the pool and an exclusive fireworks observation deck.
"As a multifamily developer, real estate investment, and property management company, Kettler has been operating in the DC metro region and along the east coast for over 40 years." Fisher says "We have been gearing up for some exciting growth and expansion, and Florida is a big part of our strategic plan for our company's future."
Kettler plans more Florida projects, Fisher says.
"In line with our growth strategy, Kettler continues to evaluate acquisition and development opportunities in the Orlando submarket, Tampa/St. Petersburg, as well as South Florida to add to our multifamily portfolio," she says. "We are actively engaged in multiple pursuits in Florida through both acquisitions of existing communities as well as new development."
Kettler is also actively pursuing projects in the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.
