A new luxury apartment complex called Cherokee Springs is in the works at 1576 Cherokee Rd.

The $12 million, four-story complex with a glass and limestone exterior will replace a former apartment building overlooking Cherokee Park. Inside, Cherokee Springs will be comprised of eight apartment units with 10-ft ceilings, top-shelf appliances, steam showers, and storage space.

Here are more details on the project:
  • First floor lodgings will be 1,400 sqft, two-bed, two-bath units with screened-in porches.
  • Units on the remaining floors will be three bed, three-and-a-half-bath apartments with ~2,700-sqft of space. They will also have a 500-sqft terrace + screened porch.
  • Parking will include one- and two-car garages with additional parking underground.
  • The complex will total ~20,000 sqft.
  • Cherokee Springs should be complete by spring 2023.
It’s not the first luxury apartment in the Highlands, though Cherokee Springs will be one of a few. The nearest luxury options include The Baxter at 642 Baxter Ave., The Woods at 2139 Lexington Rd. + Highland Station at 1172 E. Broadway.

While rent hasn’t been specified for Cherokee Springs, rent at the next three luxury apartments in the area ranges from $999-$1,359/month for single-bedroom units.

Even more waterfront news

Brough Brothers planning second distillery in Louisville, KY

Locally-based bourbon company Brough Brothers is planning a second distillery location with a tasting room, bar, and outdoor game area near Waterfront Park that looks to be open by March 2023.

It will be located at 1250 River Rd. in the 1.8-acre lot owned by the Waterfront Development Corp. — less than a mile from the newly-announced pickleball “eatertainment” venue at 1515 River Rd.

The company is the commonwealth’s first African American-owned and operated distillery. Founded by brothers Chris, Victor, and Bryson Yarbrough, they opened their first location in the Park Hill neighborhood at 1460 Dixie Hwy. at the end of 2020.

It’s the latest announcement in a series of new developments for the area. A little more than a week ago, Waterfront Park broke ground on its Phase IV expansion — which will extend the park a whopping 22 acres — and construction on the Waterfront Botanical Garden’s authentic Japanese Garden began at the end of September.

THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by City Editor Sarah.

Editor’s pick: I’m always slightly sad when Halloween is over, but it made me smile to see that 100,000+ people visited this year’s Boo at the Zoo, breaking previous attendance records.
