SMITHFIELD – The Smithfield Town Council unanimously approved a request by developers to build a 168-unit apartment complex named Stadler Station.
Brown Investment Properties will construct seven buildings on a 13.17 acre vacant parcel of land on Peedin Road at Components Drive near Carolina Premium Outlets. The complex will include 84 one-bedroom units, 72 two-bedroom units, and 12 three-bedroom units.
The development will be served by two driveways, one aligned with Peedin Road and a second by Components Drive.
The site plan includes a clubhouse, approximately 31,686 square feet of open space, 271 standard parking spaces, and 10 handicap parking spaces.
Smithfield’s Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) allows a maximum density of 9.68 units per acre, however a density variance was approved in 2011 allowing a density up to 12.92 units per acre, according to a town report. The new apartment complex will average 12.75 dwelling units per acre.
The project was approved by a 6-to-0 vote during the Nov. 19 meeting of the Smithfield Town Council.
