STUART, Fla. (CBS12) — Driving along Kanner Highway in Stuart, you may have noticed the banners. The once-busy 76 Golf World Family Fun Center will soon become the site of Baron Landings, a $100 million mixed-use development. This is the latest in a series of projects underway across the area.

Baron Landings will feature 308 apartments across four four-story buildings, with 40% of those units designated as affordable housing based on area median income (AMI).
