As our partners lay the foundation for hundreds of new affordable apartments at Aviva Crossing, THA is supporting the improvement of utility services to support the new residents who will call this new community home.
The added sewer capacity will allow for hundreds of new apartments, and the stormwater work will collect and treat water from thousands of square feet of previously developed area, resulting in cleaner water downstream.
Aviva Crossing is made up of multiple lots at James Center North, including existing commercial space. THA is working with several developers and other housing providers to bring more than 500 planned units of affordable housing to the space in multiple new buildings. The first of these, from Mercy Housing Northwest, will add more than 120 units and is on track for completion in early 2026.
