ST. JOSEPH — Construction on a $78 million condominium and townhouse project is set to begin early next year, after the St. Joseph City Commission approved the development Monday night.
The new community, called Windward Isle at Ender’s Land­ing, will be across Morrison Channel from Clementine’s Too restaurant, sitting on about 25 acres.
The main entrance will be on Anchor’s Way, adjacent to Pier 33.
The City Commission unani­mously approved a special use permit for the development, fol­lowing a recommendation by the Planning Commission earli­er this month.
The complex was proposed by Signature Island Group of Stevensville.
Windward Isle will be a gated community and have four three-story

townhouse build­ings, each with six units, repre­sentatives from the project said. There will be four eight-story condominium buildings, with parking on the first floor and 26 units in each building.
The buildings will surround 137 to 145 boat slips and a marina. Units will be priced at $500,000 to $1.3 million, proj­ect representatives said.
At one end of the property are wetlands, which project leaders said will be cleaned up and turned into a conservation area. There also will be a pool and clubhouse.
In other business, the com­mission approved changing the name of the public works department. Director Derek Perry said Department of Pub­lic Services better suits what his department does.
“It’s one of those things I feel public service is, and what the department is all about,” Perry said.
The Department of Public Services, at 1160 Broad St., includes parks and grounds, streets and sanitation, water and sewer, and hydrant flow testing.
