A new 50-unit affordable housing apartment complex by Ginn Group’s nonprofit arm Ginn Gives aims to help steer Vancouver’s housing stock in the right direction.

Ginn Gives plans to begin construction on Allegro Pointe by the end of the year with a Dec. 2 ground breaking at the site, 2929 N.E. 65th Ave., near Living Water Community Church. The first occupancy is planned for late 2022 with project completion in 2023. The estimated cost is under $11 million.

The plans include 50 units, all with affordable housing, of one- and two-bedroom apartments in a three-story building that looks sleek and white, according to renderings provided by LSW Architects, who partnered with Ginn for the project. Plans also call for 59 on-site parking spaces.

The building’s style is referred to as transitional modern, according to Melissa Lynn Galland, director of the brand strategy and experience at Ginn Group.

“You tend to see affordable housing choices that aren’t as beautiful,” she said. “In this case, that’s not the point here. We want it to be beautiful and affordable.”
