Construction recently began on the planned Center Crossing senior housing development for individuals 55 and older.
The 50-unit development at 105 South Center St. will provide affordable-rent housing to seniors, the City of Hickory said in an October release. While the development is aimed at those making up to 80% of the area's median income, units will also be reserved for people with a monthly income that is up to 60%, 50% and 40% of the area’s median income.
“Center Crossing will offer much-needed affordable housing with easy access to City amenities and all the benefits of living downtown,” Mayor Hank Guess said in the release. “We are excited to see this latest project officially break ground and join the growing list of development activities we are seeing throughout downtown Hickory.”
The four-story development will include 28 one-bedroom and 22 two-bedroom units, the city said in the release. All units will meet Energy Star 2.0 requirements.
