Excited to see the progress of our master planned community NorthShore, located along the St. Mary’s River in Camden County, Coastal Georgia. This 629-home community at build out includes a market-leading, resort-style amenity package including a 3,400 sqft clubhouse, boat launch, floating dock, observation deck, playground, and passive recreational/sports fields.   NorthShore is a classic Drapac investment play: we identified a prime asset in an undervalued growth market, acquired it for a fraction of the infrastructure value, and added significant value during the hold period by undertaking thoughtful and strategic initiatives to restore and improve the community.   A critical piece of our investment strategy has been to bring in multiple homebuilding partners including 1) Century Communities (NYSE: CCS), 2) Maronda Homes, and 3) Smith Family Homes. This approach has resulted in tremendous success for both the builders and overall community; builders are seeing strong absorption and price growth, and the community is appealing to a wider audience with a range of products and price points.   Camden County is experiencing significant growth due to shifting demographic factors (+8% population and +26% household income growth over the last 5 years) and the expansion of regional economic drivers, which has translated directly to increased demand and home sale prices (+64% over the last 5 years). https://lnkd.in/dKTubEn9

What does Community Impact mean to you? For me, Community Impact means a continuous effort to positively impact the businesses, schools, neighborhoods and most importantly the PEOPLE where we live and build. Take a moment to review the Turner Construction Company's (Philadelphia Business Unit) 2023 Community Impact Report, which will provide insight and examples of our efforts to affect change in a positive way. #tunerconstruction #communityimpact #diversityandinclusion #activecaring #economicdevelopment

#TBT Beyond individual housing units, housing authorities often play a role in broader community development efforts. We collaborate with other agencies and organizations to revitalize neighborhoods, enhance infrastructure, and promote economic development. These initiatives include creating mixed-income communities, developing new housing, and improving public spaces, all of which contribute to a more vibrant and cohesive community. Housing authorities are more than just administrators of housing programs; we are key players in shaping the quality of life within communities. Our work impacts economic stability, community development, and social equity. By ensuring affordable and safe housing, advocating for fair practices, and supporting broader community initiatives, we help build stronger, more resilient neighborhoods. Understanding and supporting the role of housing authorities is essential for fostering vibrant, inclusive communities where all residents have the opportunity to thrive. https://lnkd.in/gWPVqHWn

Yesterday we hosted our CIE Community Quarterly convening and learned a lot about the state of housing in Colorado along with the historical inequities and disparities that still impede us today. Thank you, Peter LiFari, for a wonderful presentation. Your insights and advocacy of affordable housing being something each citizen should enjoy. A couple key statements from Peter that really resonated were... 💡 “The future of housing is in the sky.“ (Based on density, environmental, social and community needs.) 💡 "Do we want MORE homeless or MORE housing?” 🤔   Housing values were a key takeaway from our discussion. Below are some things to consider: 🏠 Housing stability is national security 🏠 Housing is Civil Rights 🏠 Everyone needs a home to thrive 🏠 Housing abundance drives housing affordability 🏠 Housing is a continuum 🏠 Homebuilders are not the enemy 🏠 Filtering is real 🏠 The Market will not produce homes < 60%AMI without subsidy 🏠 Inclusionary Zoning alone will not solve your affordability challenges 🏠 Rent Control is a False Idol #inclusiveeconomy

Ever questioned why people are being priced out of their own neighborhoods? Or why more than three unrelated people can’t live together? Or why it feels like you need a car to get where you want to go? The answer might be unexpected - usually, it has a lot to do with zoning laws! On Sunday, October 13, we’re launching our Bad Zoning is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things Campaign. This public forum, hosted by Connections for the Homeless & Joining Forces for Affordable Housing, Evanston Community Foundation, and Evanston Cradle to Career, will lay out how important good zoning reform is in making our community stronger. Joining Forces will be releasing an Equitable Zoning Report with recommendations for zoning reform based on two years of research, along with a toolkit and calendar of workshops that cover zoning basics and how they affect the ways we live. Join us and help prepare Evanston for the future! RSVP here: qrco.de/nicethings #evanston #evanstonzoning #zoningreform
