The Future Is NOW
Crescendo: Multi-Family Construction
Urban Neighborhood Initiative and co-developer Brinshore Development are investing $15 million in a
multi-family housing development. This site will include 39 mixed-income apartment units, UNI's office
and community space.
Single Family Preservation
Though there are many vacant and boarded structures in our neighborhoods not all of them are a total loss. With the ability to acquire property from public entities at low to zero cost, allows for UNI to renovate a
structure and sell a home to a low to moderate income buyer.
New Single-Family Construction
Part of closing the wealth gap is homeownership. UNI is developing single-family homes with accessory
dwelling units for homeowners to have additional income options. DRAW Architects sustainable design allows for a home to operate at a level that a homeowner does not become utility cost burdened while UNI provides a home for less than market rate for families to build wealth.
In partnership with VanTrust Reality, UNI finalized plans to launch the Path to Homeownership pilot
program. This co-development project aims to promote residential wealth accumulation through
homeownership of 250 homes for low-to-moderate income families and individuals. The first four homes
are scheduled to break ground by the end of 2022.
Unity Campus: Redevelopment
Mid America Regional Council and SWT Design have partnered with UNI to establish plans to convert a
former school site into Unity Campus - a 4.75-acre mixed-use development, mixed-income housing, green
infrastructure, and a community-focused site.
