The project also included the demolition of the former vacant HealthQuest facility on the adjacent lot. Life Fitness is the City's second largest employer with 275 full-time and 90 part-time em- ployees. Dedicated Networks, located at 14000 Unity St. NW, looks to com- plete their 20,000 square foot expan- sion this spring as well. Casey's General Store opened their second location at 7222 Sunwood Drive NW in January, and will finish final site work when weather permits in the spring. There are 76 newly created single-family lots now available in the Brookfield, Harvest Estates, and Wood- lands neighborhoods. Two apartment buildings totaling 168 units are cur- rently under construction in The COR, and look to open later in 2016. Both projects are now constructing building shells. New construction created 85 new single-family lots, 39 new townhome units, and 168 new apartment units for a total of 292 new households in 2015, compared to 66 new households in 2014. Total value of construction invested for residential, commercial, and industrial devel- opment in 2015 was over $87 million.
