$17.5 million senior housing project underway in Greeley

GREELEY – A $17.5 million, 60-unit affordable apartment community for seniors age 55 and over is under construction in Greeley.

The complex, called Chinook Wind Apartments, is located at 6622 W. 10th St. and will be complete in late 2014, according to a release from U.S. Bank, which financed the project.

“Chinook Wind helps address the market’s need for senior living options and provides specialized housing that goes a long way toward alleviating challenges that many seniors face in their daily lives,” Beth Stohr, director of low-income housing tax credit investments for U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation, U.S. Bank’s community development subsidiary, said in a statement.
