The three remaining Jeffries Towers at the
Woodbridge Estates development look remarkably different now that they are capped with mansard roofs and one -- as of April 10 -- is proudly sporting a four-sided clock tower visible for miles. Less obvious, but just as significant, are the other improvements made to the towers that include apartment expansion and renovation and the construction of covered entrances for each building.
Other components of the $97-million 47-acre Woodbridge Estates development continue to progress. All 15 single-family homes that were offered via the HOPE VI home-ownership grant program have been sold, and only 25 out of 32 market-rate ones remain.
As for townhouses, 16 are eligible for the HOPE VI program out of 54 total units.
The next construction phase will be a 16,000-square foot retail strip to be built just south of the towers, fronting on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.
