Work has begun on a 318-unit apartment complex in Hays Farm in south Huntsville.

Jeffrey Cairney, Camden Securities Company vice president of finance, acquisitions and asset management, told the Lede that his company broke ground on the Jessam at Hays Farm last week on 20 acres of land.

He said the apartment community will include 11 three-story Class A garden-style buildings. Cairney said the apartments will have one-, two- and three-bedroom units.

“They range from 780 square feet to 1,450 square feet,” he said. The complex will include detached garages.

The apartments will be built in three phases, Cairney said. The first units will be delivered in late summer or early fall of next year.
