Located on a 1.3-acre site just 1,500 feet from the Virginia Square-GMU Metro, the Lucille & Bruce Terwilliger Place is a 160-unit affordable rental community, featuring a new 6,000sf condo for the American Legion Post 139.  In response to an aging facility and diminishing membership, the members of Post 139 saw redevelopment as an opportunity to transform their site, programs, and services. In 2016, APAH was selected to partner and lead the redevelopment. With APAH’s leadership, the site was approved in 2019 for rezoning, greater density, and gap financing from Arlington County’s Affordable Housing Investment Fund (AHIF). The project was awarded 9% tax credits that year. APAH skillfully balanced the hybrid underwriting parameters to enable both this project and Mt. Of the 160 units, 50% have a veterans preference, providing critical housing and resources to support the needs of veterans in our community. Nearly two-thirds of the units have two- or three-bedrooms to meet the needs of families. Thanks, in part, to a successful capital campaign, the project includes 26 deeply affordable units at 30% AMI. Sterling Senior to win 9% credits in the same cycle. The project broke ground in 2020 and opened in 2022.​
