Greenville – Gateway at the Green, a 72-unit workforce housing project, celebrated its grand opening on October 15, with the aim to address the affordable housing crisis in Greenville. The project, developed at a cost of $18 million, is strategically located at 39 Webb Road, near Haywood Mall, making it accessible to essential services and businesses.
This development provides housing solutions for individuals and families earning 20% to 60% of the area median income (AMI), thus catering to the workforce population that is often overlooked in the housing market. The project is a collaboration between Creative Builders, the Greenville Housing Fund, and Gateway Development.
According to the president and COO of Gateway Development, this initiative created 100 temporary construction jobs during its build, and will offer two permanent positions once the project is fully operational. The grand opening featured remarks from key contributors, including local government officials and representatives from the collaborating organizations.
The project has received much-needed funding through a combination of federal and state tax credit financing, city support, and private investments. City Councilmember Dorothy Dowe pointed out the collaborative efforts needed to expand access to housing in the region.
The residential complex consists of three buildings that feature a range of residential options, including one- to three-bedroom apartments. Notably, some units in the development are set aside specifically for applicants earning between 20% to 30% of the AMI, targeting low-income renters.
Amenities at Gateway at the Green include a clubhouse, fitness center, leasing office, computer lab, and laundry facilities. The project emphasizes sustainability, designed with high energy-efficiency standards and sustainable development practices. Attractive natural landscaping enhances the complex, while the availability of accessible public transportation options maximizes convenience for residents.
As of mid-October, the development is reported to be fully leased, signifying a strong demand for affordable housing in the area. The choice of location was intentional, placing it in proximity to businesses along Mall Connector, Congaree, and Woodruff Roads, as well as near medical campuses and clusters of public services.
The Greenville Housing Fund has played a significant role in addressing the housing needs in the region, having invested over $23 million into various affordable housing projects.
