market rate homes

Habitat for Humanity of Orange County has announced the two homebuilders, Garman Homes and White Oak Properties, who will be building the market-rate homes.

“I am convinced that the best model for building strong communities comes from mixed-income, mixed use development that enables people to live near the places where they work. I encourage the community to support this visionary project,” said Jonathan Reckford, Chapel Hill native and Habitat for Humanity International CEO.

The development team from Habitat for Humanity, led by pro-bono project manager Bruce Ballentine, interviewed multiple Triangle-based homebuilders to partner with to create the mixed-income Weavers Grove neighborhood. “Selecting Garman Homes and White Oak Properties as our partners was easy once we heard of their commitment to affordable housing and to celebrating diversity,” said Jennifer Player, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Orange County. “Weavers Grove is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make a huge impact on not just affordable housing but also on missing middle housing in Chapel Hill. It is something that we can all be quite proud of.”
