Silver Oaks 

JK2 Construction completed the Silver Oaks amenity center in Apopka last week for one of our valued clients. The project was a design/build effort with an accelerated schedule consisting of multiple program elements. The design phase included coordination with the City of Apopka, the developer and integrating finishes matching the existing models. The construction elements included the following: 2,500 SF community building with meeting space and bathrooms, playground area, mailbox kiosk, and hardscape. The total project duration was 110 days.

CASE STUDY:

Nicklaus Clubhouse

Scope: 

Ground up construction of 16,460 SF Spanish Monterrey style clubhouse overlooking the Nicklaus Course 18th Green, complete with proshop, offices, sales center, fitness room, restaurant, bar and basement-level golf cart storage. Site work included utility, parking, hardscape, landscape and irrigation. 

Challenges: 

Discrepancies in drawings sets did not delay this build, nor did the delicate sitework which had to work around the Florida Gas Transmission Pipeline which feeds the entire west coast of Florida and was located 25 feet from the corner of the clubhouse.  JK2 value engineered various materials and finish selections to satisfy the owner’s design intent. Despite a shut down of the municipality mid project and delayed inspections of structural components as a result, the project delivered on time. 

Case Study:

Canyons at Highland Ranch

Scope:

JK2 Construction was called on by homebuilder Taylor Morrison to complete work on the luxury amenity center at its Canyons at Highland Ranch development in Clermont. The project included an amenity building and fire pit. The amenity center offers something for all residents, whether they want to relax and unwind with family and pets or get active. This project was the start of a larger partnership with Taylor Morrison.

Challenges:

Taylor Morrison trusted JK2 Construction to handle the important amenities while they focused on building amazing homes for residents. This project had to be completed quickly and affordably. JK2 Construction leaned on our efficient, quality building approach to finish on time and on budget.

CASE STUDY:

Ruby Lake Amenity Center

Scope:

Constructing the Ruby Lake Amenity Complex facilitated space for this upscale community to engage and relax with a new clubhouse, pool, splash pad, fire pit, sports courts, mail kiosk and dock. 5,241SF clubhouse overlooks beautiful Ruby Lake and includes a porch with seating areas and covered walkway, community room, fitness center, offices and restaurants for guests. A large community pool of 2,377SF has an adjacent and separate splash pad. The project finished with the construction of a 75FT dock for residents to enjoy their lake. 

Challenges:

This project encompassed a time sensitive 6-month timeline to meet the client’s schedule so the first phases of houses could be sold. The lake adjacent to the property is a nature preserve, so extensive dealings with the EPA regarding the environmental impacts of the project were coordinated and managed and fulfilled. At contract acceptance finishes were not selected, so JK2 worked diligently in assisting the owner to procure and determine the finishes.
