Project Statement
AVILA is a dynamic mixed-use development comprising 269 luxury apartments with first-class amenities along with a new-to-market drive-thru coffee concept, Scooters Coffee, and dermatology center located in Oviedo, Fla.
The property styles itself as a modern, sophisticated community with the comfort and feel of a down-to-earth oasis. The beige and white facade with a combination of stucco and metal elements provides a sense of serenity paired with sleek modernism. The orientation of the two larger buildings situated around a large central courtyard offers a tranquil setting for the pool and associated amenities. The sights and sounds of the outside world are blocked out, and the lush landscaping welcomes you to take a dip in the pool or lounge in the hammock.
The rear-courtyard, “The Backyard,” plays host to games and gathering areas for more recreational use. Between the putting green, ping-pong table, cornhole courts, grill stations, green egg and turfed areas, the backyard is the place to be with family on a sunny Florida afternoon.
Residents also have the convenience of cutting-edge technology for building access, smart unit entry and remote thermostat control.
