Creating Opportunities for Attainable, Inclusionary, and Affordable Housing
As a trusted to partner, Bohler helps developers identify and act on opportunities for affordable housing.
While economic incentives often include property tax abatements, the right to build at higher densities, transfer of development rights, and reduced open space and parking requirements, the tighter profit margins and lack of available land often prove challenging for developers.
Offering in-house survey, site civil engineering, and landscape architecture, Bohler’s multidisciplinary team provides cost effective design strategies and techniques required to bring affordable housing developments to market.
Working together as one, our team brings a comprehensive perspective to design solutions and promotes streamlined communication throughout the land development process. Ultimately, this collaboration helps mitigate perceived risks at the start of a project and helps clients avoid costly budget items throughout the project.
When developing an affordable housing community, special considerations must be given to the following:
Utilities: Identify strategic connection points to create efficient design that minimizes piping, conduit, and system extensions.
Soil and Grading: Perform earthwork analysis to minimize the grading required on-site, factoring in the required stormwater management facilities.
Landscape Architecture: Evaluate design concepts that embrace the site’s exiting features, and use environmental assets to enhance the community.
Permitting and Entitlements: Establish relationships with jurisdictional officials that move projects forward through the approval process.
Our team will work with you to proactively manage public concerns, creating opportunities to win approval and neighborhood buy-in through innovative design, neighborhood revitalization, and community benefits.
