Over the past 3.5-ish years, since January 2021... in the City of Harrisonburg...
2,886 new dwelling units have been approved
25 have been built
Wow!
Indeed, City Council has approved a LOT of new housing over the past few years, including...
- 233 detached homes
- 72 duplexes
- 1,279 townhouses
- 1,970 apartments (multifamily)
And yet, over that same timeframe, the only housing to be completed includes...
- 14 duplexes
- 11 apartments
Of note... these "25 units completed" does not include the following housing units that were completed over the past 3.5 years that were already approved 3.5 years ago, consisting of...
- 54 detached homes
- 79 duplexes or townhouses
- 51 apartments
So, housing has certainly been built in the City over the past 3.5 years (a total of 209 dwellings) but that pales in comparison to the many (many!) units that have been approved and have not been built.
Of those that have not been built... some new housing units are being actively planned, while the planning has stalled out on some.
You can view a list of the approved developments in a memorandum to City Council here and a presentation about the housing pipeline here.
