santa fe apartment project set for construction

Construction may begin in late fall on what will be the largest apartment complex to date in Santa Fe.

The Madera Apartments will go up in northwest Santa Fe on a 21-acre site off South Meadows Road near New Mexico State Road 599 and will include 355 residential units.

The project belongs to Santa Fe developer Carlos Garcia, and will be built in two phases, with the first phase seeing the construction of an initial 240 units set for completion in the third quarter of next year.

Those apartments will range in size from studios, to one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, and will be housed in nearly two dozen, two-story structures designed in the Santa Fe Pueblo architectural style.

Described as a “Class A multifamily” project, the Madera will also include a club house, swimming pool, garden space, and landscaped open areas.
​
The second phase of the project will see the building of an additional 115 units, with an anticipated completion date of sometime in the fall of 2022.
