    UNDER CONSTRUCTION

    Workers frame one of three villa duplex buildings at Aurora Place, a new senior living subdivision under construction on Alexis Road at Whiteford Road in Sylvania. Joe Mercurio of Mercurio Developers intends to construct six villa units by year’s end and a total of 35 over the next two to three years. All will be one-story, 1,020-square foot units that will rent for $995 a month. Each will have two bedrooms and a full bathroom, a one-car attached garage and amenities such as granite kitchen countertops. Residents will pay for utilities, but lawn, snow removal, and villa maintenance will be provided by Mercurio management. The units will be smoke free and pet free, the developer said.
