At its March 13 meeting, the Leesburg City Commission approved the rezoning and a site plan for the Crossings at 44, a mixed-use development on State Road 44 just west of the Sumter County line.

The property, located to the west of Whitney Road, spans 34.7 acres and its plan calls for a 280-unit apartment complex, a 150-bed assisted living center, a 120-bed rehabilitation center and a 120-bed skilled nursing facility as well as 40,000 square feet for commercial use. The maximum building height across the community is three stories, and the developer must employ “dark sky” lighting standards.

Ryan Solstice, representing Hesko Holdings, told the commission that the development would be completed in phases, starting with the apartment complex, then commercial.

The city’s planning commission recommended approval at a meeting in January. And the city commission approved the plan unanimously after hearing from Solstice, Planning and Zoning Director Dan Miller and the public.
