Editor • Despite the recent rain and storms, work proceeds steadily on Wilken Development’s newest community, Autumn Crest, at the southwestern corner of Sportsman Road and Frank Watson Parkway.
When complete, there will be 32 three-bedroom, two-bath apartments of about 1,365-square-feet each and 24 two-bedroom, two-bath townhomes of about 1,250-square-feet each. There will also be 50 single-vehicle garages for tenant parking and a community center with shared amenities and a gathering space for residents.
Workers broke ground in late March; construction should take 18 months, though it’s weather-dependent. The company expects completion in late 2027. Wilken has four other rental properties in Highland plus two in Carlyle.
