Dimit Architects designed renovations to The Villages at Franklin Crossing through the Ohio Housing Finance Agency’s 9% LIHTC program.
The two apartment complexes, located in Kent, Ohio, are comprised of 29 apartment buildings with a total of 348 units across 22 acres. A new community building was constructed that includes amenities such as a fitness center, kitchen and community lounge with computer stations, fireplace, restrooms, covered porches and site adjacency to a new splash pad, playground, and picnic pavilion.
The renovations improved both the amenities and aesthetics of the apartment complex while improving accessibility, energy efficiency and safety.
