“Multi-family construction is an area where we have extensive experience so this project felt like a natural fit for us,” said Stajduhar. “We were able to work with the design team early on for this project and collaborate on several green initiative additions and design features which will make it a very attractive residential option for people wanting to live in the O’Fallon community.”
The exterior finish of the building will be stacked stone and Hardie Board fiber cement siding. The interior of the apartments will include tile and carpet flooring, 9-foot ceilings, and stainless-steel appliances. President and CEO of VITA Residential, Steve Sisson, said his company has developed several similar properties in Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas, but this was their first project in the St. Louis area.
“This was my first venture in Missouri and when searching for a general contractor everyone kept telling us about Holland,” said Sisson. “We didn’t know what kind of pricing to expect and were thrilled when they came in below budget. Since then, the greatest difference that I notice, aside from their professionalism, is the technology they bring to the table. I can literally see plan updates from my phone and get information as it changes in real time. I’ve never had that on a project before and it has saved me a tremendous amount of time.”
Sisson added that the Jewel Apartments is designed to offer people luxurious, resort-style amenities for an affordable price. In addition, all VITA Residential properties offer life skills opportunities for residents such as personal training and informational seminars. The Jewel Apartments is expected to be completed by September of 2021.
