Housing Works, the regional housing authority for Central Oregon, is excited to announce a groundbreaking event to celebrate the start of construction on a 60-unit modern affordable housing community. The event will be at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, October 17th at 1835 SW Timber Ave. The new workforce housing is located on a 3.43 acre site that was previously underutilized with 16 obsolete units built in the early 1980s.
This thriving area is close to shopping, banking, medical, recreation, and public transportation. Keeping the previous property name of Spencer Court, fondly named after a long-time resident that sadly passed a few years ago, the new development will include 4 new three-story buildings, a community building for residents to gather with a dog washing station, a playground, a dog run, and plenty of bike storage. The mixture of unit types will support and encourage various household compositions and multi-generational
interactions.
The Spencer Court development is supported by funds from Deschutes County, Oregon Housing and Community Services, the City of Redmond, Washington Federal Bank, and PNC Bank. The development was designed by the Pinnacle Architecture/Morrison Maierle engineering team, and will be constructed by local general contractor R&H Construction Co.
