A new apartment community will soon be built at The Banks.
Construction for The Banks’ Phase IIA is scheduled to begin Monday, April 28.
The 9-story structure will stand in the block bounded by Rosa Parks to Race Street, and between Freedom Way and Second Street, according to Libby Korosec, spokeswoman of The Banks.
Korosec said there will be about 290 apartment homes built, including one and two bedroom units. The building will include about 20,000 square feet of retail space.
In the first week of construction, workers will assemble fencing then get ready to demolish certain areas for the overbuild construction.
The first set of apartments, The Current at the Banks, was completed in April, 2011. The homes are located one block east, next to Great American Ball Park.
