“We look forward to bringing HTG’s signature high-quality affordable housing to a community that needs it.”
Located on a 2.3-acre lot at 310 W Rand Road, the four-story development will include a mix of one-, and two–bedroom units, community room, library, computer cafe, fitness room, tenant storage compartments, bicycle storage, and 80 outdoor parking spaces.
Other features include a resident garden, outdoor patio, and a walkway tying into the existing public sidewalk system.
