Midwest communities. In visiting with numerous community leaders and industry heads, many agree that affordable housing, in addition to good schools, good health care, and recreation opportunities are the top selling points for communities to grow and attract a good workforce. Gardner Development was formed for the purpose of developing single family and multi-family properties with an emphasis in providing high quality affordable housing for all sectors of the population. Today, we concentrate our efforts in creating quality, affordable housing through the use of Housing Tax Credits. We have found great satisfaction in building both multi-family and senior housing that allows moderate-income families the opportunity to live in new, clean and safe environments.

The lack of affordable housing is a significant hardship for low-income households preventing them from meeting their other basic needs, such as nutrition and healthcare, or saving for their future and that of their families". Gardner Development remains committed to expanding the supply of affordable housing to meet the needs of working, moderate to middle income families in the Midwest. Through partnerships with affordable housing agencies, non-profits, and local municipalities we are not just providing a roof to sleep under but are providing life changing opportunities through home-ownership options, service enrichment programs, and senior communities that create affordable alternatives to allow senior residents to age gracefully and independently.

We strive to work closely with the communities in which we develop, including trying to obtain input from the community and its public officials as to the nature of the community's needs before we plan our developments. We strive to utilize sustainable building techniques and materials to produce quality, affordable, and healthy housing. We are very honored to have been recognized by our peers and the housing industry for our award winning portfolio and look forward to continuing to grow from those successes.
