La Joya Villages
La Joya Villages was designed to provide quality residential units and community amenities to an existing community and strengthen redevelopment in the area. Site amenities include a clubhouse, splash park, History Labyrinth made of previous pavers, native plants, and historical markers, and community gardens for both La Joya residents and the surrounding community to utilize. Also included in the development is a sound control wall along the railroad tracks, a living wall, and an art studio and gallery. In addition, many green building elements will be incorporated into the site and building in order to meet the Florida Green Building Coalition requirements for certification including, but limited to: the use of drip irrigation where possible; native plants; impact, operable windows with screens; Low VOC paint and casework; above ground cisterns; solar panels; pervious pavers; and a metal roof. This high-quality development will raise the bar for rental housing in the area and serve as a catalyst for change in the surrounding neighborhood.
