RALEIGH, N.C. - Fluhrer Reed, a Raleigh-based structural engineering firm, announced it has been selected as structural engineer of record for the new Bellagio Luxury Apartments in Fayetteville, N.C. The 256,000-square-foot complex will be built on Blanton Road adjacent to Bragg Boulevard, about a mile from the entrance to Ft. Bragg Army Base. Three, four-story buildings will house a total of 239 one, two and three bedroom apartments.

The Bellagio will be a gated community with lush landscaping and unique amenities – from a three-hole putting green and fitness center to an outdoor summer kitchen and large-screen theater. An outdoor pool with fountain will be flanked by cabanas.

Cumberland County Real estate developer Rajan Shamdasani owns the project and selected Cline Design Associates of Raleigh as architect.

Naegele said the project is LEED registered and will be constructed using sustainable building strategies. Fluhrer Reed has staff accredited by the U.S. Green Building Certification Institute in the engineering and design of green buildings.

Construction of the Bellagio is scheduled to begin later this year, and units will be available during the spring of 2010.
