NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA-The Department of the Army has selected the GMH Military Housing division of GMH Communities Trust to design, construct and manage single-solider housing at Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX and Fort Stewart in Hinesville, GA. The two projects are among the first Army housing privatization initiatives targeted to unaccompanied personnel. A GMH spokeswoman tells GlobeSt.com the complexes are valued at $30 million each.

The awards are part of a fast-track program to provide improved housing for single soldiers carrying the rank of SSG E-6, which is staff sergeant, or above. The decision follows a Sept. 19 conference call during which Gary Holloway Sr., CEO of locally based GMH, said the company’s military housing division “intends to pursue single-soldier housing in addition to our ongoing military family housing.” According to today’s statement, GMH will begin negotiations “within the next several weeks” with the Army to construct up to 470 one- and two-bedroom apartments for unaccompanied soldiers at Fort Bliss and up to 370 such units at Fort Stewart.
