In a meaningful stride toward addressing affordable housing needs in Raleigh, Timmons Group proudly participated in the recent groundbreaking ceremony for The Preserve at Gresham Lake. This development promises to bring 156 affordable housing units to the community, fostering inclusivity and accessibility in Northwest Raleigh.
Located just north of Interstate 540 on Gresham Lake Drive, the new complex will feature garden-style apartments across five buildings, including amenities such as a pool, a clubhouse, and a picnic area. The community will also provide a direct walking path to the Durant Nature Preserve, a 250-acre haven featuring trails, wildlife, and serene greenery. Among those in attendance was Raleigh Mayor Janet Cowell, who championed the efforts of everyone involved in the project, as did many other speakers.
In collaboration with LDG Development, the NC Housing Finance Agency, Wake County, and the City of Raleigh, Timmons Group provided site design, survey, environmental, traffic, and geotechnical services for this project. “LDG is excited to be bringing 156 affordable housing units to the City of Raleigh for our first project in the Capital City and want to thank our many partners who made this project possible,” Landon Cox, Development Manager at LDG, said.
Rick Baker, Timmons Group’s Principal/ Raleigh Commercial Land Development Group Leader, participated in the ceremony, marking the start of construction for the project.. The Preserve at Gresham Lake is a great example of a project being more than just a housing project; it’s a commitment to providing quality, affordable living spaces that harmoniously blend with the natural environment. Timmons Group remains dedicated to contributing to projects that enrich communities and enhance the quality of life for all residents.
