This Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) development will bring 216 new affordable apartment homes to the area, providing high-quality housing for individuals and families earning up to 60% of the area median income (AMI).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smith Ridge Commons represents Lawson\u2019s first development in the Roanoke market and is part of the company\u2019s ongoing commitment to addressing the supply shortage of affordable housing across Virginia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Situated on 12 acres at the intersection of Cove Rd. and Peter\u2019s Creek Rd., Smith Ridge Commons will feature a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in seven residential buildings. Eleven of these homes will be UFAS-accessible units, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for residents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smith Ridge Commons will exceed energy-efficiency standards, earning Earthcraft Gold and Energy Star certifications. This reflects Lawson\u2019s dedication to sustainability and providing residents with comfortable, cost-effective living options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are thrilled to bring Smith Ridge Commons to the Roanoke community,\u201d said Carl Hardee, President and CEO of Lawson. \u201cThis project embodies our mission to positively impact people and reflects our belief to provide all Virginians with a high-quality place to call home.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first apartments are expected to welcome residents in late Summer 2025. Smith Ridge Commons marks an important milestone for Lawson as the company continues to grow its portfolio, which currently includes over 5,000 managed apartments and over 800 apartments under construction across Virginia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;For more information about Smith Ridge Commons or Lawson\u2019s other projects, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithridgecommons.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.smithridgecommons.com<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Lawson<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Lawson, we understand that what we do \u2013 and how we do it \u2013 affects the everyday lives of people we care about.
