The site development plan for DJM Shelbyville Apartments was approved Monday by the Shelbyville Plan Commission.
Phase I of the project is expected to break ground in June, according to David Muselman of DJM Investments, LLC. That phase will contain eight three-story buildings totaling 144 two-bedroom apartments that are neither Section 8 nor subsidized.
The complex will be located at Progress Parkway and Highpointe Boulevard. The nearly 7-acre parcel of land west of Highpointe Boulevard will be developed first, according to Muselman.
Phase II will cross Highpointe Boulevard to the east and include a clubhouse and, potentially, pickleball courts along with more market-rate apartments.
Each building will contain six units per floor or 18 units per building.
The complex will be connected to the city’s trail system. The retention pond that will run along Progress Parkway will include a fountain to add to the landscaping of the property.
Once the first phase is complete and stabilized (80-90% capacity according to Muselman), Phase II will begin construction.
The project is a $35 million investment by DJM Investments, LLC.
Several area residents brought questions to the Plan Commission concerning density of the project, traffic flow and the project’s proximity to the Central Park housing addition nearby.
