Best seniors housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best seniors housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
An affordable living complex for seniors may soon be built in south West Fargo, however the project would entail selling off units in Casselton, forcing its residents to find a new home.
The West Fargo City Commission approved a PILOT, or Payment in Lieu of Taxes program, application from the Housing Authority of Cass County for the $16.8 million project to span over 17 years, starting in 2026 and ending in 2042.
Developers of the project, Elson Shores LLC, are willing to keep the project under the name Elson Shores and enter into a PILOT program, which allows them to pay a set amount over 17 years in this case, rather than full property tax amounts. Developers would likely pay about $100 per unit built as a tax payment.
Elson Shores would be a senior housing complex of 71 units for low-income adults age 62 and older and would be built in two phases at 2500 6th St. E., just north of the Rustad Center.
The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
