PROJECT INFO:
WindMill Manor is a new construction three story elevator building with 80 units for seniors located on 4 acres of land in Batavia, Illinois. The project is within a half-mile of a large number of retail options as well as public transportation and was designated an Opportunity Area by IHDA. As the market study highlighted, there is a great shortage of affordable housing for seniors in the area and the project leased quickly. The Housing Authority of Elgin supported the development with 25 Project Based Vouchers, including those referred through IHDA’s State Referral Network Program. The building includes a range of resident amenities – fitness room, business center, library, media room and live-in property manager and on-site office. Association for Individual Development – https://www.aidcares.org/ provides tenant referrals, maintains an office at the development and supports the disabled elderly residents that need services.
