Almost 80 apartment complexes were either under construction or in the planning stages in Huntsville at the end of 2022.

That number continues to grow through the first quarter of 2023.

More than 700 apartment units were approved at various stages during last week’s Huntsville Planning Commission meeting. More than 300 homes were also approved.

The largest apartment complex is a 318-unit complex planned for Hays Farm diagonally across from Grissom High School.

The complex, which will consist of 11 three-story buildings, is being developed by Camden AL Ventures LLC west of Haysland Road and north of RW Street Drive. Schoel Engineering is also involved with the project. It will include access from Haysland Road, with secondary access from RW Street Drive.

The commission approved the layout and gave preliminary approval to the project.
