Ventures Development Group and joint-venture partner BCDC recently broke ground on The Southerly at Shipyards.

A 270-unit apartment community in St. Augustine, The Southerly is a part of a larger, master-planned development that includes townhomes, single-family residential homes for sale, a boutique hotel, walkable retail, flex office space and a restaurant.

The first units are expected to be available in early to mid-2024.

“We are pleased to work again with BCDC in providing another best-in-class residential community, specifically to the St. Augustine market,” said Sean Siebert, principal of Ventures Development Group, in a news release. “We believe our attention to detail differentiates our communities from others in delivering what tenants desire when choosing their homes.”

BCDC President and CEO Litt Glover said in a news release The Southerly at Shipyards will be "thoughtfully designed" and capitalize on "the exceptional location and surrounding development master plan.”

The Southerly will feature resort-style community amenities, including a sky lounge overlooking the San Sebastian River, a pool and hot tub, outdoor kitchen with a firepit and pizza oven, 24-hour fitness center and a co-working lounge.

The property also includes a club room, package room, pet park and dog-washing station and a structured parking garage accompanied by street-level parking spaces.
