The Connell Company, one of the largest diversified, privately held corporations in the nation, said on Oct. 17 that it has started construction on RT600, its 149-unit residential tower.
The property will feature a resort-style outdoor pool, rooftop entertainment lounge and deck, game room, co-working space and fitness center, along with hospitality-based amenities and concierge services utilized throughout The Park.
“RT600 marks an exciting step in The Park’s evolution to a destination neighborhood,” said Shane Connell, executive vice president at The Connell Company. “We continue to see incredible demand for locations that offer walkability to shopping, dining and entertainment and RT600 will give residents access to a truly unique experience at The Park.”
This milestone comes on the heels of the topping out of The Park’s first residential tower, RT500, which will contain 179 units across 11 floors. In addition to a suite of lifestyle amenities, the building will also feature Cafe Exchange, a two-story café offering coffee, pastries and desserts, social spaces, a wine bar and a book exchange.
The District at The Park project is overseen by GS Ferguson, serving as the owner’s representative, with SOCO Construction managing the RT600 building and the north side of District Drive, including RT500, and the surrounding retail spaces.
The Park is in the midst of a $500 million redevelopment that includes 300,000 square feet of shopping, dining and entertainment offerings anchored by a walkable main street along with extensive capital improvements across the campus’ existing offices and outdoor spaces.
