Eco-friendly senior housing breaks ground
Developers of a 49-unit affordable senior housing community broke ground on the project Thursday. Developed in collaboration with the city of Morgan Hill Redevelopment Agency, Bank of America and KTGY Group Inc., the new $21.2-million community will offer healthy, supportive and eco-friendly apartment homes to seniors 55 years and older earning between 30 percent and 50 percent of Santa Clara County median income.
Designed by KTGY, Horizons at Morgan Hill will offer 36 one-bedroom, one-bath and 13 two-bedroom, two-bath apartment homes, averaging about 778 square feet and 1,025 square feet respectively, and occupying a single three-story building. Rents are expected to range from $597 to $1,193 per month, based on family size and income level.
“Over the next decade, many seniors nearing retirement age may be forced to relocate due to fixed incomes and increasing housing costs,” said Garrett Toy, director of Morgan Hill’s Business Assistance and Housing Services Department. “Horizons at Morgan Hill will enable seniors to afford to remain in Morgan Hill after retirement. This beautiful, new project will provide affordable senior rental housing to a growing population, eliminate a blighted property, install McLaughlin Avenue and much needed public improvements. Horizons is conveniently located near the downtown and public transportation providing easy access to shopping, medical services and senior recreation.
Located on 2.6 acres at 98 E. Central Ave. at the intersection of Central Avenue and McLaughlin Avenue, Horizons at Morgan Hill will feature a spacious 3,000-square-foot community center with a computer lab, media center, a fully-equipped kitchen, a manager’s office, laundry facilities, community garden, swimming pool, picnic and BBQ area, and generously landscaped courtyard areas.
Seniors interested in living at Horizons at Morgan Hill, should contact Solari Enterprises Inc. at (714) 363?4090.
