Ground broken for new Sparks apartment complex

Ground was broken Wednesday morning for luxury apartment complex in Sparks.

Oakmont Properties held a ceremony August 1, 2018 for the groundbreaking of Azure, which will include one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments to an area adjacent to the Outlets at Legends mall and Sparks Marina.

The complex is slated to partially open in fall 2019 and be finished a year later. Rent will start at about $1200 a month for a one-bedroom and be higher for the larger units.

The project includes a 6,500-square-foot community building with cyber cafe and coffee bar, wellness studio, yoga zone and pet spa. There will also be an outdoor living area, with a resort-style pool and lounge, along with an outdoor kitchen and dining area.
