Redmond City Council awards Taylor Northwest LLC over $2 million to build affordable housing
REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Redmond City Council held a special meeting Tuesday night, to vote on a contract for services totaling $4,262,715.46.
The Council approved that contract.
Taylor Northwest LLC has been authorized to construct the Northpoint Vista Phase I Infrastructure, which will occupy the northeast part of Redmond.
This is a project that will be a massive undertaking for the city.
Deputy City Manager, Steve Ashworth talks about the type of infrastructure going in and why the northeast side of town was selected.
“This $4.2 million is a project that is getting that infrastructure to set the actual project to create affordable housing. At market rate, housing will make it actually work and pencil out so we can provide more housing opportunities for our community. So, the northeast is really an opportunity for the next area of growth for us,” said Ashworth.
He added “It's a logical place for that next point of growth.”
Ashworth also said, the City of Redmond will break ground on the project in the next 10 days; 80% of the work will be completed by the end of the calendar year.
The City’s partners: Rooted Homes and Housing Works, will begin building the affordable units by next spring 2026.
The City’s goal is to have at least 14 of those affordable units available by spring of 2027.
