An apartment complex that’s revitalizing a block west of Minnesota Avenue seems to be drawing some quick interest from tenants.

The project called 1500 Spring is located at 23rdStreet and Spring Avenue. It’s four units for now, and within the first two weeks on the market, two had leased.

“I think they came out great,” building co-owner Jonah Luzier said. “They’re clean, contemporary, with lots of light and large windows. One of the main things people are saying when they come in is how light it is and how spacious it feels.”

The 2,400-square-foot apartments are three stories and include four bedrooms and a two-car garage.

Amenities include solid-surface floors and hardwood stairs, solid-colored counter surfaces and a contemporary kitchen design with a built-in bar area, higher-end appliances and a washer and dryer.

“We’ve had some really good showings, so I don’t know how long it will take (to lease all four) but hopefully not too long,” Luzier said. “We’ve had a mix of young professionals and some health care medical residents who are sharing.”

He’s also designing the second phase of the project, which looks like it will be a four-story building with parking on the main level and three levels of single-story apartments, allowing for 21 units. The design calls for a rooftop deck that also will be accessible for the original four units.

“We could get more density and do a mix of smaller units, so that plan would have a mix of studio and one-bedroom plus den, and two-bedroom, so we’d have a little bit of everything,” Luzier said.

Construction likely will start next year, he said.
