Renderings of what the finished project will look like show a single building that surrounds a central courtyard which will include a swimming pool and water feature. Balconies will overlook the courtyard area, located at different levels throughout the building. There will be 38 apartment units at the complex.

According to the project’s architect, Carlos Lievanos of Liev Arch of El Paso (www.lievarch.com), the courtyard is “strategically located based on building orientation, site exposure and views to integrate light and privacy in response to the desert environment.”

Initial plans included a Phase II that would construct three more condominium buildings, a clubhouse, and a small retail space. However, only the current building under construction will be realized, as of this point.

The Onix Apartments building should be completed in Spring of 2015, with rent priced at or near market rates. The developer is Roma Homes with Basic IDIQ as contractor, both of El Paso.
