You may have noticed that some lights are now on in the apartments across the Boulevard from the Diamond. NOVEL Scott’s Addition hosted a grand opening last week.
The seven-story development has 275 rental units including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Average rents range from $1,500 to $3,000 per month.
The team behind NOVEL is publicizing the community’s social atmosphere and amenities to attract potential residents. The complex includes a saltwater pool, record listening lounge, top-floor sky lounge, two courtyards, coworking spaces, a dog park, and a spa. It also has a “hidden cocktail club” as an homage to historic speakeasies in the area.
It’s the first local project for Crescent Communities, a Charlotte-based real estate investor and developer.
NOVEL is one of the first new apartment complexes to open near the future Diamond District neighborhood. Work is underway on CarMax Park just across Arthur Ashe Boulevard.
