Construction of the newest 300-unit luxury apartment community from the Orlando-based father-son developer duo of Selnik Development<\/a> is making its way toward the finish line.<\/p>\n

The Regency<\/a> is located on roughly 17 acres in Ocoee \u2014 between Florida\u2019s Turnpike and State Road 50 \u2014 directly west of where Old Winter Garden Road currently ends at Maguire Drive. Selnik closed on the three parcels in 2022 for $8.56 million and groundbreaking was in August 2024.<\/p>\n

Anil Thadani, who founded the company in 1982; his son, Nik Thadani, junior principal; and the community\u2019s director, Victoria Tufaro from ZRS Management,<\/a> took GrowthSpotter on a tour of the site Thursday to update its progress.\n<\/p>\n

And while there are other high-end rental communities in Central Florida, Anil Thadani said they\u2019re nothing like what he\u2019s offering.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe site plan for The Regency, a 300-unit apartment community in Ocoee located where Maguire Road meets Old Winter Garden Road. The project from Selnik Development is now taking applications for tenants and plans to have its grand opening in July. (Site plan by VHB\/Selnik Development)<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re better built, better appointed, better designed. You\u2019re not going to see this anywhere else in Central Florida that much,\u201d he said. \u201cI build at a level that is completely different than anybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thadani said work is about 75% complete, acknowledging it\u2019s taken longer than expected due to various factors: \u201cYou got tariffs, you got supply-chain issues, and then you\u2019ve got custom millwork that is so intricate that you can\u2019t just slap it together. You\u2019ve got to think about how you\u2019re going to execute it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first units will be delivered as early as May. And by the July 7 grand opening, they said the community will have all amenities ready for use and at least half of units ready for tenants.<\/p>\n

The apartments \u2014 spread across seven four-story buildings with elevators and air-conditioned corridors \u2014 break down to 20 studio units, 109 one-bedroom\/one-bath units, 147 two-bedroom\/two-bath units, and 24 three-bedroom\/two-bath units.<\/p>\n

One thing that stands out from a typical suburban mid-rise community is the oversized floor plans and generous ceiling height. Studios are 753 square feet; one-bedroom units have four floor plans with 836-944 square feet; two-bedroom units have four floor plans with 1,150-1,333 square feet; and three-bedroom units have two floor plans with 1,354 or 1,443 square feet. Rents start at $1,724 for a studio and go to $3,100 for the largest of the three-bedroom floor plans.<\/p>\n

The community will have 450 surface parking spaces and 53 rentable garages (25 with EV chargers) at six locations around the property.<\/p>\n

Building 1, at the front of the property, will have multiple retail tenants (restaurants and shops) across 6,500 square feet \u2014 on a 20-foot concrete podium that comprises the first two floors \u2014 and 12 apartments across two floors above it.<\/p>\n

All apartments have open-concept layouts, wide vinyl plank flooring and natural light pouring through numerous windows; gourmet kitchens with quartz countertops, modern cabinetry with soft-close drawers, under-cabinet lighting and premium Whirlpool appliances (including a dual-zone wine refrigerator); contemporary lighting and Moen fixtures; spacious bathrooms with back-lit mirrors and granite countertops; dedicated utility room with washer\/dryer; large closets with French doors; options for private patios, full balconies or half balconies with solariums; and 12-foot-high ceilings in top-floor units and 10-foot on others. Solid wood doors \u2014 and entry doors with two deadbolts \u2014 are standard.<\/p>\n

The centrally located 12-000-square-foot clubhouse has a spacious lounge and state-of-the-art Bose system; a multiuse room with areas for poker and pool plus an 80-inch TV with surround sound; a library space; a leasing\/concierge area; coworking space and conference room; a modern fitness center with high-end Matrix Fitness machines and free weights; indoor\/outdoor yoga areas; Pilates reformers; refrigerated lockers for grocery and pharmacy delivery; and a 24-hour \u201cmarket\u201d with fresh foods (sandwiches and salads) taking electronic payments. Outside find a resort-style, zero-entry pool with deck that includes cabanas, an electric fireplace and a pergola with an outdoor grilling station and sitting area with high-top chairs.<\/p>\n

The pet-friendly community also includes a fenced-in dog park adjacent to an indoor pet spa featuring washing station and high-intensity dryer. There\u2019s also a secure bicycle storage room with 60 locking racks and an adjacent room for greaseless bike repairs. An amenity area near the front of the property includes a pickleball court, yard games, such as a giant chessboard and cornhole. At the rear of the community, a lighted trail leads past a fire pit \u2014 surrounded by lounge chairs \u2014 and around a pond.<\/p>\n

Other firms involved with the project are VHB<\/a> of Orlando and FK Architecture<\/a>. ContraVest<\/a> is the general contractor, EDEN Site Development<\/a> led the horizontal construction, and Fifth Third Bank<\/a> provided $56.3 million in construction financing.<\/p>\n

The nearest example of Selnik\u2019s previous work is The Mayfair Apartments<\/a> in Gainesville.<\/p>\n

The development also helped accomplish something Ocoee city officials have wanted for years: to extend Old Winter Garden Road<\/a> so that it connects with State Road 50 to the north. Selnik Development built the first segment of the road extension west of Maguire Road in return for mobility fee credits. The new four-lane stretch of roadway will become the site of a town center with high-density urban development on both sides.<\/p>\n
