Land near the Mission Trail Baptist Hospital at Brooks will be developed into new affordable housing complexes.When Leo Gomez took the job as CEO of the Brooks Development Authority in 2013, his focus was on attracting market-rate housing to the new community built on the former Brooks Air Force Base.
“We’ve gotten to a point where we’ve established that market-rate works in this corner — in fact, not only for multifamily but for single-family,” Gomez said in an interview. “Now that we’re established on that end, we think we need to do the responsible thing that any community should do, and that is to find a way to integrate, responsibly, affordable housing.”
When the complexes are completed, they will comprise about 15% to 20% of the total residential units at Brooks, Gomez said. “I think that’s a pretty good ratio,” he said. Sageland Flats is expected to cost $96.8 million, and will be built with $35.2 million in federal low-income housing tax credits. Cedar Ridge — which will serve adults 55 and older — has a price tag of $65 million and is using $23.7 million in housing tax credits., VIA Metropolitan Transit’s Brooks Transit Center and the Greenline, a park which connects with the Mission Reach stretch of the River Walk.
