Construction is about 25% complete at Linden Place, a 44-unit, mixed-income housing complex in the historic Hillside neighborhood. The $13 million project, run by nonprofit affordable housing developer NeighborWorks New Horizons, is expected to be complete by June 2024, said Tom Cruess, the organization’s CEO. Linden Place will be for individuals and families earning between 25% and 100% of area median income, and will be deed-restricted as affordable housing for 40 years. He said before construction could begin, contaminated soils had to be remediated. Workers are still in the process of pouring a foundation on the west side of the property, while framing is expected to begin Monday on the east side, Cruess said. The city has funded past projects, but it did not directly fund Linden Place.
