Rivers Crossing, a 52-unit affordable housing community, is set to be built in Portage, Wisconsin. Developed by Impact Seven in partnership with Harmony Housing Partners, the project will deliver high-quality, affordable apartments on a 2.12-acre site, with McShane Construction Company appointed to build it. Completion is expected in October 2027.
Positioned at 2941 Hunters Trail, the development will consist of a podium-style building with three stories of wood frame construction atop a one-level underground concrete parking garage with 52 spaces. The building’s façade will feature a mix of masonry and fiber cement board.
Homes and amenities
The community will offer eight one-bedroom, one-bathroom units, 32 two-bedroom, two-bathroom units, and 12 three-bedroom, two-bathroom units. Residences will feature granite kitchen countertops, in-unit washers and dryers, and balconies in select units. A portion of the units are designed to accommodate adults with disabilities.
Residents will have access to 13,000 square feet of amenities, including a community room with a kitchen, a quiet lounge, a media room, a pet spa, a fitness center, and storage lockers.
The project is designed to achieve Wisconsin Green Built Homes Zero LEED Low-rise Equivalence certification.
