Why Opelika?

Despite  its  growth,  Opelika  had  not  seen  the development  of  a  multifamily  asset  near  the downtown  core  that  catered  to  the  growing population  of  young  professionals  and  skilled workers.

By  partnering  with  AREY  and  our  local partner, Marsh Collective, the City of Opelika was able to realize their vision of bringing much needed housing to the downtown area that serves as a proof  of  concept  and  a  catalyst  for  future development.

Project Overview

As the first large-scale multifamily development in downtown Opelika, the project required thoughtful planning and coordination to ensure that the end- product was aligned with the long-term interests of the community.

The City provided incentives including upgrading infrastructure, improving sidewalks and widening roads. Through this alignment with the City we were  able  to  bring  exciting  new  housing  to downtown Opelika that otherwise would not have been economically viable.
