Breeden breaks ground on Newport News apartments

The Breeden Co. is breaking ground on a $33 million apartment project in the Huntington Pointe area of Newport News, the Virginia Beach-based real estate firm announced Thursday.

Avant, located off Denbigh Boulevard, will have 176 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments between 672 and 1,517 square feet each.

Breeden Construction will serve as the general contractor, and Breeden’s property management division will manage the apartments after construction is complete.

The company has three other residential projects in development in Hampton Roads:

• Lake Taylor Pointe in Norfolk, a $43 million development under construction since April, will have 198 garden-style and carriage home apartments in 20 buildings. This project is set for completion November 2023.
• The Pinnacle on 31st Street in Virginia Beach will have 240 apartments. Construction on the $69.1 million project started in May 2021 and is scheduled to finish in May 2023. The triangle-shaped building is more than 540,000 square feet and is at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.
• The $24.5 million 15Hundred Hilltop in Virginia Beach will have 113 garden-style apartments in six buildings. It is expected to be complete in November 2023.
