Summary, model-written

Southridge senior housing complex in West Palm Beach is under construction as a garden-apartment redevelopment. Developer Smith & Henzy (confirmed via parties and deals) is building two four-story apartment buildings on the southern half of the site. Zoning change was approved by West Palm Beach City Commission in 2024. The project was initially selected by the Housing Authority in 2021, with demolition beginning in 2025. A $28 million loan from Berkadia Commercial Mortgage and a $872,909 sale to a partnership involving Smith & Henzy and Magnolia Affordable Development Inc. are documented. The site was originally federally subsidized senior housing. Median rent in the area is $1,818. The project is active (not a new opportunity), with no completion date provided. Palm Beach County saw 4.2% population growth 2018–2023. No additional context on site size, unit count, or cost per unit is in the record.

Why. Record explicitly states 'under construction,' 'approved,' and 'demolition began in 2025.' No external data added. All facts sourced directly from provided JSON fields.
