Generation Housing endorsed the SOMO Village development.
SOMO Village is a 175-acre master-planned community of 1,694 homes (plus 56 ADUs), 823,000 square feet of commercial space (700,000 sf existing) and 38 acres of parks and open space. Fifteen percent of the homes (254 units) will be affordable. Residential housing types range from single family detached, townhouses, apartments and condominiums that add a significant diversity of homes to the City’s housing stock. Among other amenities, the project includes a fitness center and childcare center as well.
As a mixed-use, sustainable community, SOMO Village is designed in such a manner that homes are within a five-minute walk of a Village Center, jobs, services, shopping and entertainment. The Project is intended to achieve designation as a “One Planet Community,” a third-party international certification program for sustainable development.
The Project will redevelop portions of an existing technology campus and surrounding vacant land and also encompasses adaptive reuse and substantial improvement of existing buildings in the existing technology campus. The community’s full build-out will be developed in six phases constructed over an estimated 10 to 15 years.
