What’s going up? Affordable apartments in Bend

Published 4:00 am Monday, January 31, 2022

Owner: Pacific Crest Affordable Housing

General contractor: SunWest builders

Architect: Jim Landin at gl3 Architects

Details: Canal Commons 2, is being developed by Pacific Crest Affordable Housing. Canal Commons 2 is built on two lots, one to the north and one to the south of Canal Commons 1. The south building is further along in construction, so that’s what passersby see at the roundabout at Butler Market Road and 27th Street in Bend.

It will be 48 units.

The project is available and affordable to households earning up to 50% of the area median income, currently determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to be $40,200 for a four-person household.

Pacific Crest, like many affordable housing developers, was able to secure a 20-year property tax exemption for this development, so there will be no increase on the tax rolls until the exemption expires.

Energy efficiency is emphasized in this building, according to Pacific Crest officials.
