Active professionals are the target market for 5Fifty5, a $13 million project to build 47 high-rent townhomes that are expected to be completed next year near the Raccoon River at 555 S.W. Seventh St.

Hubbell plans three different designs, with two- and three-bedroom options. All will have two-car garages. Some models will have a master suite with a private patio on the third floor, others will offer a partial third floor with a wet bar and access to a private rooftop patio. The patios will feature glass railings and pergolas. Rain caused the cancellation of a groundbreaking ceremony planned for Tuesday at the site.

The sun was shining Monday in Johnston when Hubbell broke ground on Cadence, a $26 million infill project on a little more than 8 acres at at 6300 Merle Hay Road that will offer 64 one-bedroom, 97 two-bedroom and 34 three-bedroom apartments, a two-story community room with a kitchen, an Internet cafe, a media room and access to the pool and patio. It is scheduled to open in late 2016.
