Six hundred forty affordable and market-rate homes replacing aging public housing in four phases, so every returning family moved once, straight into a finished home.
The housing authority and its development partner promised residents they could return to new homes in the same neighborhood. That meant phasing demolition and construction so families could stay in place until their new building was ready. Financing came from several sources, each with its own compliance rules and deadlines, and accessibility and energy standards had to be met in every unit.
The approach.
- 01
Phasing built around families
The schedule tied every demolition to a completed building, so no household had to move twice.
- 02
One budget, many funders
Cost reports were organized by funding source, so lenders and agencies could each see their compliance status.
- 03
Inspections booked early
Accessibility and energy inspections were scheduled at rough-in and finish, so no unit failed at the end.
- 04
Move-in ready, unit by unit
Each home was punched, cleaned and walked with the property manager before keys were released.
The outcome.
“Families were living next door the whole time. We built every phase knowing exactly who was moving in.”
