Current Projects

747 Hartford Avenue

White River Junction, VT

Twin Pines plans to build an 18-unit apartment building, on a parcel of the St. Paul’s Church property. Preliminary plans call for the building to have three-stories with a pitched roof and with all apartments having a single bedroom. The building will provide permanent housing for its residents, who will receive case management services from the Haven in addition to services provided by Twin Pines’ staff. It will help meet the need for permanent housing with supportive services from those who have experienced long-term homelessness.

PROJECT UPDATE — August 19, 2024:

Almost all the activity this week will be directed towards the site work, particularly the sidewalks.  The base pavement for the phase II parking area (in front of the church) was completed this week. So, now both the phase I (in front of the new 747 building) and phase II parking areas have a base coat of asphalt.  The biggest work effort for the week will again be on the sidewalks, the preparation, and the pouring of concrete for them. The sidewalks beside and in front of the church will hopefully be completed by the end of this upcoming week. Also, this week, the new access into the property is scheduled to be completed although the curbing may need to be done the week after depending on when the curbing arrives. With the arrival of the new access to the parking area, the old access will go away. The new access is scheduled to be completed by August 21st.  There will be lots of activity around the phase II parking area (in front of the church) so please pay attention to the cones laid out in the parking area. The cones will depict no parking areas so that the cement trucks can get to the sidewalk areas.

We’re still planning on leasing up the building sometime after Labor Day.

County Road Apartments

New London, NH

Twin Pines is excited to move forward on a proposed 60-unit workforce housing project in New London, NH. The project would be built on a seven-acre site, zoned for multi-family units, behind the Hannaford shopping center and near the New London Hospital. The site is on town water and walkable to local commerce, library, and the hospital.

This project comes as the result of a local citizens group reaching out to Twin Pines, to seek solutions to New London’s workforce housing needs. Twin Pines is in the process of securing funding for the project and beginning local permitting, which involves initial work with architects and engineers on site design. In September, Twin Pines presented a conceptual site plan to the New London Planning Board, which was received positively. Additionally, Twin Pines is committed to participating in community conversations in New London to describe the project, answer questions, and receive citizen input.

The 60 units would be one- and two-bedroom apartments, geared toward individuals making between 60% and 80% of Area Median Income. The proposed project would be comprised of four buildings, each with ten 1-BR apartments and five 2-BR apartments.

Architectural schematics will be available soon. For more information on the project, click here for Frequently Asked Questions.

Safford Commons

Woodstock, VT

Construction of four new homeownership units at Safford Commons in Woodstock, VT, is now complete.  The mix of two and three-bedroom units include open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, laundry room, and front-entry porch with storage. The units are permanently affordable.
Two units have sold, and applications are still being received and reviewed for qualified buyers for the other two. Qualified buyers can purchase the home, and Twin Pines offers down payment assistance grants that are perpetually tied to the property. This keeps the property affordable for generations to come.
