Gateway at the Green, a 72-unit workforce housing project, held a grand opening Oct. 15.
The development is located at 39 Webb Road near Haywood Mall in Greenville. It will provide housing for those earning 20% to 60% of the area median income.
The complex was created in partnership with Creative Builders, the Greenville Housing Fund and Gateway Development. John Mandell, president and COO of Gateway Development, said the project created 100 temporary jobs in construction and will have two permanent employees.
There were a number of contributors present, including Mandell, Mayor Knox White, City Councilmember Dorothy Dowe and Greenville Housing Fund CEO and President Bryan Brown.
“There are a number of residents here – 20%, 30% [AMI] – that would not otherwise have a chance at stable, healthy, crime free environments,” said GHF board member Veretta Lindsay during the grand opening.
The project totals three buildings with one- to three-bedroom apartments available and amenities such as a clubhouse, fitness center, leasing office and computer lab. The clubhouse also provides laundry facilities.
“This project was supported by a combination of federal and state tax credit financing, city support and private investments, and we are grateful for all of those investments,” Dowe said. “These partnerships represent Greenville’s innovative and collaborative spirit. Today, we continue to show what can happen when we align our resources to expand access to housing.”
