A 4.9-acre site in Ormond Beach slated for new apartments is now being sold for $1.7 million.
In July 2023, the Ormond Beach City Commission unanimously approved two rezoning amendments and a development order for the property owned by CST Holdings LLC. Located at 145 N. Yonge St. — between Dix Avenue and Highland Avenue, and next to a Dollar General — the property was proposed to become the Ormond Enclave development, a 64-unit apartment complex.
The development was previously known as "The Courtyard at Ormond," and included a 10,889-square-foot commercial building, which was removed in last year's amendments to add more apartment units. The property includes land that is zoned both as a Planned Business Development and as a Planned Residential Development.
According to the property's listing on Zillow, the sale includes the design and site plan approvals for the 64 multifamily units, to be constructed across eight two-story buildings. The project will have 32 two-bedroom units, spanning 940 square feet each, and 32 three-bedroom units, each 1,177 square feet.
"The Ormond Enclave Apartments represents a unique opportunity to bring much needed rental housing to the downtown area," the Zillow listing states.
At the Ormond Beach City Commission meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 4, City Commissioner Lori Tolland spoke about the land being for sale. She wanted to see if the property was one the city could be interested in purchasing.
"Not that I'm out trying to spend government money, but sometimes there's missed opportunities that we need to look at," Tolland said.
One of the main concerns from residents, both in 2023 when the amendments were made and in 2019 when the project was first proposed, was increased traffic on both Dix and Highland avenues, which are narrow neighborhood roads.
