Affordable home construction in Parkland
Summary
New Directions Housing wanted a $500 landbank lot at 3225 Greenwood Avenue to build a new three-bedroom home selling around $180,000, funded philanthropically. The board balked over vacancy risk and the deal failed — leaving the lot vacant for now.

Impact analysis
A $294,705 construction project on a $500 landbank lot did not move forward.
Would have been a first-time homebuyer family in the Parkland neighborhood near the Boys and Girls Club.
The vacant lot stays vacant, and the neighborhood waits on a potential future attempt.
