The St. Charles Cos. announced the start of infrastructure work on Fieldside, a new 500-unit neighborhood in the planned community acquired in 2009 by Federal Capital Partners of Washington.

The community of single-family homes and townhouses will have prices starting in the low $200,000s.

“Homes in Fieldside will be aggressively priced to appeal to a wide range of homebuyers looking for a convenient suburban location with a fully developed infrastructure, mature shade trees throughout and natural features and amenities designed to enhance a sense of community,” St. Charles Cos. CEO Alan Shearer said in a news release.

With infrastructure building under way, Ryan Homes expects to begin home construction in January with new residents moving in by spring.
