The Trillist Cos. is planning a 264-unit condominium at Metropica, the $1 billion mixed-use project in Sunrise.

Trillist, a joint venture between Scott Leventhal and Joseph Kavana, expects to break ground early next year, according to the Sun Sentinel.

“We are pleased to be bringing a new standard in luxury urban living to one of the world’s great intersections of culture and commerce in South Florida,” Leventhal said in a prepared statement.

Last month, Sunrise commissioners unanimously approved a master plan and a request to rezone Metropica, located west of Sawgrass Mills.

The 4-million-square-foot development will be built in two phases. Plans call for 1,250 high-rise units, 485,000 square feet of commercial space and 150,000 square feet of office space, all on 28 acres. [Sun-Sentinel] – Christopher Cameron
