Following the meeting Lasky said MaSuki Incorporated of Camden pulled the request because a study showed there wasn't enough need in Roanoke Rapids for the potential high-end apartments the developer wanted to build after going through the rezoning process.
Lasky said the study did not take into consideration demographics from the lake community.
Ellen Heaton, who is listing the property, said this evening, “It's a lost opportunity.”
The apartments were to consist of 250 units with a clubhouse and exercise room, business center, pool, social area and theater room. Other amenities were included.
