Lamar Blvd.\u2014a booming area with upscale multifamily projects. The local nonprofit could build the 109-unit project on a site that currently houses a Goodwill retail store.<\/p>\n<p>The entire project, called Skyview Studios, would cost $15 million to build, out of which the developer hopes to receive $10 million in federal tax credits, according to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statesman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" news\/business\/apartment-project-with-affordable-rents-planned-fo\/nWcCM\/\">The Austin-American Statesman<\/a>. <\/em>If the project receives the credits, the Austin City Council will contribute with $1.8 million to fund the project. The rest of the money needed to build the community would come from fundraising.<\/p>\n<p>The four-story building is planned to have a new 14,000-square-foot Goodwill store on the ground floor and more parking lots than the initial store \u2013 a total of 60 spaces. Monthly rates would range between $400 and $650 a month including utilities, said Walter Moreau, executive director of Foundation Communities, as quoted by the <em>The Statesman<\/em>. Skyview Studios, with units of about 400 square feet, will target individuals with annual incomes under $26,000.<\/p>\n<p>If all goes according to plan, construction could begin in the spring of 2014, with completion expected to happen a year thereafter. When complete, Skyview will be the sixth apartment community developed by Foundation Communities in Austin\u2014with a total number of 600 affordable units.<\/p>\n<p>The project has received a lot of support from philanthropists and different local associations, being one of the few current developments to provide housing for low-income people in Austin. Although the city is booming with apartment projects, most of the multifamily communities planned in the area offer luxury units and not enough affordable ones.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo rendering of Capital Studios, another affordable project developed by Foundation Communities in Austin<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more news from Austin,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.multihousingnews.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" news\/market-snapshot-employment-growth-in-austin-outpaces-both-state-and-nation-leading-to-voluminous-rent-increases\/1004064640.html\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foundation Communities plans to build a residential project with affordable rentals at 2800 S.
