Maceo May Apartments was the first to be completed as part of the redevelopment of Treasure Island into a mixed-income community with over 8,000 housing units planned or under construction. The development plan for the island centers active design principles to connect residents to each other and the natural environment via pedestrian paths, community parks, and an island trail network.
