A new apartment complex designed with “upscale living” in mind is coming to Ellenton in north Manatee County.

The Sinclair at Ellenton will be a 217-unit multifamily community. It’s being built on approximately 14 acres at the intersection of U.S. 301 and 96th Avenue East, according to a news release.

Atlanta firm Brook Farm Group is the developer for the project. The Sinclair is expected to have units for rent starting in 2027.

The Sinclair will offer two three-story buildings and three four-story buildings with open-concept floor plans and an average of 941 square feet per unit, the release said.

“Along with a premier location, the new community will feature a blend of amenities catering to residents seeking a more boutique, upscale living environment,” said Eric Hade, Brook Farm’s chief investment officer, in the news release.
