The Town of Chapel Hill recently broke ground on the Trinity Court redevelopment project on June 3. A groundbreaking event was held at the project site, in collaboration with Community Housing Partners and Southway Builders. Chapel Hill Mayor Jess Anderson, Town Manager Chris Blue, Affordable Housing and Community Connections Director Sarah Viñas, partner representatives, and several dozen community members gathered to celebrate the achievement.
“In terms of our Complete Community goals and our vision, Trinity Court is the perfect example of it,” said Mayor Jess Anderson. “Having affordable housing right next to all these amenities people can walk and bike to, being able to be right next to a community center, the school, trails, greenways [and] downtown.”
Trinity Court is planned to have 54 affordable units that will serve households earning up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), or about $84,700 for a family of four. Sustainable materials and energy efficient methods will also be considered when constructing the units.
Funding for Trinity Court includes almost $2.7 million in affordable housing from the Town and nearly $1 million from Orange County affordable housing funds. The project also received a 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit worth more than $10 million.
Construction on the Trinity Court site is anticipated to begin this month, and the project is estimated to be completed in winter 2026.
