Construction of the first for-sale homes at Greenbridge, a 96-acre, Three-Star Built Green™ master planned community in White Center, has started. This marks the beginning of homeownership activity at the site where 448 rental apartment homes have already been built. Seven energy-efficient, custom designed, single-family homes will be located at the corner of SW 100th Street and 8th Avenue SW in White Center.

HomeSight and KCHA have been working together to design and develop the three- and four- bedroom homes which are intended to be affordable to families earning 80% of the King County median income or $68,480 for a family of four. The five 3 bedroom, 2.25 bath homes will be priced starting at $249,900; The two 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath homes will be offered starting at $279,900. To enhance the affordability to low-income first-time homebuyers, HomeSight will offer purchase assistance loans up to $45,000.

Located just a few blocks from White Center's commercial core, the Greenbridge neighborhood includes the White Center Heights Elementary School; the Educare Early Learning and Head Start Center; a c ommunity center run by Neighborhood House and the Southwest Boys & Girls Club; a YMCA Adult Learning Center; a King County Branch Library; and an extensive park and trail system. The award-winning Three-Star Built Green™ project feeatures a number of creative approaches to environmental sustainability, including biofiltration swales to clean surface water runoff and narrower road widths to help calm traffic.

The first two homes will be ready for purchase and move-in June 2011. Interested buyers should contact HomeSight for more information about these homes and free homebuyer education classes.
