Construction on schedule in Tyler: District at Midtown apartments – Tyler Morning Telegraph

The streets in Tyler were quiet as the stay-at-home order continued in Smith County. However, an echo boomed near the Saunders Avenue bridges of hammers and construction.

While the city waits for all businesses to open, the new apartment complex, the District at Midtown, is on schedule to be completed. It is near the hospitals and the new medical school at the UT Health Science Center at Tyler.

We have three buildings, the first one will be completed mid-July, each one will be done a month after, mid-August, and September for the last one, said real estate developer Samuel Scarborough. Construction is an essential service. Weve been able to go right along without any issues.

What makes this project different from others is additional challenges to make sure contract employees do not get sick.

Everyones been great. We are taking the precautions, but its outside, everyone is spread apart doing their individual subcontracting work, said Scarborough. Its a usual construction project.

Scarborough said he is going through applications and pre-leasing now for the 36-unit apartments, which feature 24 one-bedroom units and 12 two-bedroom units.

Scarborough said in May he will have more news on the old King Chevrolet lot downtown. Scarborough said that project will bring 112 high-end apartments units with 4,000 square feet of retail space.
