Cruz Development Corp. and its not-for-profit partner Housing Initiative Partnership have announced plans to build Branchville Crossing, a 51-unit affordable housing community in College Park, Md. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2024.

The fully affordable community will serve residents earning 30 percent or less of the area median income. Fifteen units will welcome residents earning 60 percent of the area median income, while five units will be reserved for tenants with accessibility or sensory adaptation issues. Housing Initiative Partnership and Cruz Management will provide resident services.

Designed by Soto Architecture & Urban Design to achieve a LEED Gold rating and Zero Energy Ready Homes certification, the development will feature highly sustainable building systems and materials.

The four-story building will incorporate one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans. Common-area amenities are set to include a community room, outdoor lounge areas, laundry facilities and approximately 83 parking spaces.
