Somers Drive (Bedford Dwellings Phase III)

February 2025

Addy Cullen, on behalf of the development team, submitted the project to the Development Review Panel. The project will be reviewed by the Committee internally at their next meeting.

Serving as the fourth housing development of the Hill District Choice Neighborhood Implementation Grant and the third joint venture between TREK and HACP, Bedford Dwellings Phase III: Somers Drive calls for the construction of sixty-five (65) units in a mix of walk up, townhome, and stacked townhome units.

Phase III will be the first “on-site” development and will feature the demolition of the existing structures on the site. The site plan will consist of two walk-up apartment buildings with 1- and 2-bedroom units. 3-bedroom townhomes will line Bedford Avenue, reflecting the neighborhood context across the street and 2- and 3-bedroom stacked townhomes will line Somers drive.

Of the 65 units, 33 will be affordable LIHTC/replacement units for families earning 20%-60% AMI, 10 will be additional affordable LIHTC units for families at 60% AMI, and 22 will be market rate.

March 2025

The DRP Committee reviewed the project in detail at their monthly meeting. Initial feedback to the developers focused on MWBE maximization, market rental rates, and greenspace strategies. The project team was invited to present at the April DRP Committee Meeting.

April 2025

The project team presented to the DRP Committee and received a score of 88% – B. The project was determined to have sufficient alignment with the Greater Hill District Master Plan and will proceed to a community vote at the September 2025 Hill District Community Meeting.
