State Street Affordable Housing Redevelopment Project
This is an infill redevelopment project that will create twenty-five affordable single-family houses located south of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and north of Bragg Street. The Garner Road Redevelopment Plan calls for new single family home ownership residential infill development in this area. Raleigh’s City Council accepted a proposal submitted by Builders of Hope, Inc. to purchase the vacant lots on which to relocate and rehabilitate existing houses. The developer intends to rehab the houses to a "green" and energy efficient standard.
Currently Builders of Hope is working on 4 houses which have been relocated to the corner of Bragg and Coleman Streets while Narron Contracting Inc completes the infrastructure project which will help create 21 additional lots. The infrastructure project includes the widening of South State Street, the construction of a 400 linear foot long cul-de-sac street as well as all the associated storm water, sanitary sewer and water improvements, and site grading.
The City of Raleigh provided the assemblage, land planning, and infrastructure improvements for this project and will provide second mortgage funding for qualified home buyers.
