Last Monday, the project:HOMES team was joined by Richmond Mayor Danny Avula, local officials, Phil Cunningham (Virginia Housing), and Cassidy Rasnick (Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development) to officially celebrate our newest apartment community at 2100 Bainbridge Street!
Located in the Swansboro neighborhood on the Southside, this 80,000-square-foot building, which formerly served as a coal storage facility, has been beautifully transformed into 83 units of affordable housing specifically for older adults.
As our surrounding neighborhood rapidly changes, with new market-rate rentals in neighboring Manchester easily topping $2,500+ a month, projects like this are more vital than ever. We are incredibly proud to provide a deeply needed opportunity for longtime residents to stay in the community they love, at a price they can actually afford.
The new community features 83 modern one- and two-bedroom apartments tailored for residents aged 55 and up earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income. In a nod to the site's history, we preserved an original carriage house on the property and transformed it into a vibrant community room. Residents will also get to enjoy a fully equipped fitness center, bicycle storage, and a shared fourth-floor balcony.
This major milestone truly took a village, and we want to extend a massive thank you to our incredible partners at Johannas Design Group, UrbanCore Construction, Virginia Housing, City of Richmond, VA Government, Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, CAHEC, and Partnership for Housing Affordability, who helped bring this vision to life.
We are so proud to see this project come to the finish line and cannot wait to officially welcome our new neighbors home! 💚 If you know someone who might be interested in living here, leasing info is available now. Please contact Epoch Properties at (804) 918-0495 to learn more.
