A development touted as one of the largest on Huntsville’s west side is in the works near the Stovehouse entertainment district.

The Beach Company of Charleston, S.C., announced Wednesday it had acquired 13.13 acres of land along Governors Drive and bounded on the west by 13th Street NW.

The mixed-use project will feature multiple buildings totaling about 26,000 square feet of office, retail and dining space in addition to 260 multi-family units, 14 townhomes and a 100-room hotel. Residential amenities will include a pool, a fitness area, a clubhouse and ample green space with a dog park, the announcement said.

The land is largely empty at this point and the developer’s announcement said it would “complement the neighboring Stovehouse community" – parts of which remain under construction itself -- "and will feature pedestrian walkways between the two developments.”

The city council last year expanded the entertainment district at Campus 805 to include Stovehouse.

The new development plans to begin construction in the summer.

“This community addition will help continue the momentum of growth along Governor’s Drive through increased walkability and connectivity,” Ned Miller, development manager with The Beach Company, said in the announcement. “The project was thoughtfully designed to enhance the experience of the growing number of residents and businesses expanding to Huntsville’s flourishing westside.”

To accommodate for the new community, the announcement said, about 620 parking spaces will be made available to residents and visitors in addition to garage storage available for apartment and townhome residents.
