Willoughby Corner will serve households earning 60 percent or less of the Area Median Income (AMI) with below-market-rate rental homes and for-sale options for households earning up to 120 percent AMI. For a three-person household, these incomes equate to maximums of $67,000 for rental housing and $135,000 per year for for-sale housing, respectively. BCHA’s affordable homes save residents hundreds of dollars per month in rent and utilities, ensuring income is available for other important needs and making it easier to save money, including for future home purchases.
Willoughby Corner will cater to families, individuals, single parents, older adults, people living with disabilities, and more. It will also support Lafayette’s workforce and the businesses that employ them. In addition to the 400 affordable homes built in multiple phases, Willoughby Corner buildings are Net Zero Energy Ready. They will feature solar photovoltaics, geothermal heating and cooling, and electric charging stations, a network of community gardens, pedestrian and bike trails, and access to transit.
With Site Plan approvals, construction on Willoughby Corner’s 55-and-over homes could begin as early as February 2023, with move-ins possible by spring 2024. BCHA could begin taking applications for these homes beginning in fall 2023. Rendering courtesy of Norris Design and HB&A Architects.
"Pinkard's team has always been extremely respectful, and I don't know; they just treat us like peers and colleagues. I have been in rooms where that is not the case."

"Walking onto a construction site as a woman, if I was like, 'I don't know what a glu-lam is,' I never felt stupid asking questions. I remember standing in the garage shell, talking with your team about what's better: cast in place or precast, and we were going through the pros and cons, thinking about future projects, and I loved it."

"After our excellent experience building The Spoke on Coffman with Pinkard, BCHA is excited to continue the relationship and momentum on Willoughby Corner. The Preconstruction staff have been incredible advisors throughout our funding, entitlements, and design processes. Pinkard understands what we need and provides a high level of service to support our pursuit of competitive tax credit financing."
