Construction has commenced on a new 179-unit build-to-rent community, named VLux Madison, located on Sanctuary Loop in Madison. The project is being developed by Jim Chapman Construction Group, who is also acting as the general contractor.
VLux Madison is designed as a gated community featuring a range of housing options, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, all equipped with detached garages. The leasing prices for these units will start at $1,249 a month.
As part of the community’s design, homes will be offered in three distinct floor plans:
- The Hideaway plan, which features one bedroom complete with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom in an open-concept layout.
- The Oasis plan, which includes two-bedroom suites, each with walk-in closets and full bathrooms with standing showers.
- The Haven plan, a two-story design that includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The sizes of the homes will range from 724 to 1,432 square feet, with each unit designed to have a primary suite located on the main level. Standard features include vinyl tile flooring, gooseneck faucets, stainless steel appliances, kitchen islands, and in-unit washers and dryers.
Security is a priority within VLux Madison, as homes will come with smart locks and fenced backyards, while garages will also include bike racks.
The community will boast various amenities aimed at promoting leisure and wellness, including a pickleball court, a swimming pool, a ping pong table, cornhole boards, and a sundeck with lounge chairs. Additionally, there will be an off-leash dog park and a clubhouse that features a yoga room, business center, and coffee bar.
VLux Madison has proven to be in high demand, as it is currently 100% leased and has developed a waiting list for prospective tenants. This new project represents Jim Chapman Construction Group’s second build-to-rent community in the Huntsville area, having previously completed the Nestledown Farms community located near Redstone Arsenal.
The company is recognized for its work on build-to-rent projects not only in Alabama but also across multiple states, including Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Indiana.
