$21-Mil Multifamily Project Kicks Off

AUSTIN-Campbell-Hogue and Associates is off and running with a 250-unit affordable multifamily complex. It has taken more than two years to clear the decks for the Ft. Branch at Truman's Landing, a $21-million undertaking.

AUSTIN-Campbell-Hogue and Associates is pushing dirt on the 250-unit Ft. Branch at Truman’s Landing.

Ft. Branch at Truman’s Landing, which will open in spring 2002, is Campbell-Hogue’s second affordable apartment project in Austin. High-priced apartment projects have outpaced affordable project construction three-to-one in the last five years, but the need for affordable housing continues to be tremendous, Campbell-Hogue Project Manager David Saling tells GlobeSt.com.

Getting affordable housing under way in Austin, however, often has been more difficult than it is in other cities, Saling says. Permits, financing and zoning issues have taken more than two years for Saling to resolve on the Ft. Branch site. “It has been a longer process than expected,” Saling says. “Now the city has created ‘Smart Housing’ the same way they created ‘Smart Growth,’ so we hope that some of these barriers are removed or at least fast tracked so we can get permits and put these types of communities on the ground quicker.”
