KINGSTON – Baxter Development has created modern workforce and affordable housing in many locations in the Mid-Hudson Valley and is now planning to build its first project in the City of Kingston.
Company President Eric Baxter said the 60-70 units will be constructed at 615 Broadway at the site of a former motel. The city is the current owner of the property.
Baxter said the demand for apartment living continues to grow in Dutchess, Orange, Ulster, Columbia and Greene counties.
“It’s not that the population in the area is growing so fast, it’s that the demographics have shifted to where family sizes are smaller, there is less people in a household, which therefore creates additional need for housing units,” he said.
Baxter estimated the cost of the five-story building will be over $20 million.
