A proposed 82-unit apartment complex to be built in Austin will be required to offer units categorized as “affordable” as part of a loan agreement. The apartment complex, known as Flats on 21, is a market rate multifamily housing project to be built at 1310 21st Ave. NW, behind Walmart and Runnings.

As the landscape of Austin continues to change more housing will be needed. The proposed development known as Flat 21 will hopefully fill in the need for affordable housing. Housing and Redevelopment Authority has approved this project. Executive Director Jon Erichson with the HRA says the study has given them some good insight.

Walls are already going up, but a postponed groundbreaking ceremony was held Thursday for a new mixed-income housing complex in Northwest Rochester.
