Roof-Raising Celebration at 17 Mississippi Apartments 

A roof-raising celebration was held on Tuesday by members of the Soto team, NHP Foundation, Legacy Real Estate Development, Aetna CVS Health, Hamel Builders, and local artists at Paramount Baptist Church in southeast. The celebration was for the both the building’s progress, in which most of the framing is completed and roof trusses being installed this week, and the partnerships that made the project possible.

The four-story, 41-unit building will provide a mix of affordable, artist, and permanent supportive housing in Ward 8. Construction progress continues to be on-budget and ahead of schedule, set to deliver in early 2023! ​

The building has really taken shape over the past month, with most of the framing completed and roof trusses being installed this week. The exterior is being sheathed and prepared for cladding and windows in the coming weeks, and plumbing is being installed inside. 

The building is due to be completed by mid-2023 and cost is estimated to be $22,841,444
