The newly renovated Fox Ridge Apartments mix like-new updates with full rental subsidies for residents.

In Princeton, a small West Virginia town of just under 6,000, quality housing was scarce-particularly for residents on fixed incomes. Then, TM Associates stepped in.

The development company launched a multiyear renovation of the town’s Fox Ridge Apartments, weathering pandemic-related delays and cost overruns, among other challenges. Fortunately, the West Virginia Housing Development Fund stepped in with a clutch Emergency Rental Assistance 2 loan to save the day and keep Fox Ridge on track.

In the end, what resulted was a like-new 108-unit community that features upgrades like in-unit washers and dryers, new appliances, updated windows and doors, and even a community basketball court and playground.

Even better? All units are rent-subsidized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, aimed at residents earning between 30% and 60% of the area median income.

Adam Stockmaster, president of TM Associates Development, calls the approximately $10 million Fox Ridge Apartments “one of our finest West Virginia restorations completed to date.”

“Our efforts to renovate and preserve this affordable housing resource brought better-than-new homes, as well as much-needed rental subsidies to all of the residents of this property, helping over 100 individuals and families in this mountain town,” Stockmaster says.

Washington, DC – January 19, 2023 –

MDXL Flats is the second phase of TM Associates’ affordable housing development near Audi Field and Nationals Park. The 98,000 SF, 11-story project was designed by PGN Architects with units ranging from studios to four-bedroom apartments. It will include 101 affordable residential units, comprised of one, two, three, and four-bedroom units with ground-level retail.

“MDXL Flats and MDL Flats, which we completed in 2021, are an important part of Washington, DC’s goal of 12,000 affordable units by 2025,” said Matt Sarver, vice president at Gilbane Building Company. “Hitting this milestone means we’re one step closer to providing more affordable options for DC residents in Ward 6.”

“TM Associates and our partner UPO are excited for the successful completion of MDXL Flats,” said Bob Margolis, Owner & Chief Executive Officer at TM Associates. “MDXL Flats will continue to pave the way for the luxury affordable housing experience in the District’s historic Ward 6 waterfront, bringing 101 new, luxury, affordable dwelling units to the neighborhood.”

MDL Flats, which sits adjacent to MDXL Flats, was completed in 2021 and features 76 apartments homes, as well as more than 3,500 SF of commercial space. Eighty percent of MDL Flats was leased-up and occupied in just under three months.
