After finding mold in Village Promenade, the company says it removed the mold, got rid of damaged items and started over.

“This was a small issue and easily contained,” Anna Kelsey, property manager, said. “It wasn’t something that needed emergency attention.”

Kelsey said Village Promenade hired a third-party company to test the area to make sure the mold was removed properly. Units on the third and fourth floors were affected by the mold, which was caused by rainfall.

“With any issues that arise that could affect residents, like mold and other water issues, we are always better safe than sorry,” Kelsey said.

Construction began on the apartment complex in early October at a cost of about $54 million. The city-run, enclosed garage cost approximately $5 million to build.

Village Promenade has 266 units for residents and a 22,000-square-foot shopping center on its first floor.

Move-in day is still Aug. 16.
