Very fortunate to be a part of a great group of people, looking forward to many more projects to come.
Along with our outstanding development partners Simmons Development Group and Beacon - SOCAYR Inc., we collectively offer our sincerest thanks to the Illinois Housing Development Authority for the award of tax credits and development financing for the Garfield School development in Decatur, IL! Not only will this development meet a need in the community for high-quality, affordable, independent-living senior (aged 55 and older) housing in the community – this 63 unit development is a center point in a comprehensive effort of community revitalization in the neighborhood surrounding this site that is being led by the City of Decatur Illinois.?The City’s representatives have been truly visionary and effective in their work.?Due to their efforts, they/we are blending this specific development into a far greater overall undertaking aimed at improving the quality of life for all in this area of their community.?Our hats are off to the City’s leadership and staff and the many community stakeholders who have locked arms on this overall effort.?Working with you has been nothing short of a privilege. Also, achieving today’s announcement would not be possible without the great work of a superb development team including WJW Architects (project architect), Ramsey Historic Consultants, Inc. (historic tax credit consultant), Altman Charter Company (general contractor), Beacon Property Management (property manager), Applegate & Thorne-Thomsen, P.C. (legal counsel) and many others.?Our thanks to all involved and we look forward to continued collaboration with all involved and making this shared, bold vision a reality!
