MG Developer’s CEO, Alirio Torrealba, plans to revive George Merrick’s original vision for this parcel of the city in a classic, yet modern way.

“We are truly grateful to partner with Knighthead Funding for trusting in our vision and providing the loan to acquire the property where the neighborhood of Gables Village will be built and will further enhance the beautiful city we live in, while honoring George Merrick’s legacy. We have no doubt we will make our partners, residents, and neighbors proud of this new enclave,” said Alirio Torrealba, CEO of MG Developer.

Now in its planning stages, the project is expected to be completed in 2024. The village will consist of duplexes, townhouses, and condominiums set throughout 17 lots, featuring one-bedroom flats to four-bedroom townhomes that range in size, from 1,750 sq. ft. to 3,100 sq. ft.
