Show Low officials mark groundbreaking for 96‑unit Mountain Ridge Apartments
Summary
In a Mayor Minute segment, Show Low officials announced the groundbreaking this week for Mountain Ridge Apartments, a 96‑unit project of which 80 units are designated as workforce housing; developers said construction will take about 14 months with an expected opening in 2026.
In a Mayor Minute segment, Show Low Mayor John Leach Jr. joined developer John Berry and project manager Kendall House to announce the groundbreaking this week for Mountain Ridge Apartments, a 96‑unit development under the city’s workforce housing program.
John Berry said, “We just broke ground this week on Mountain Ridge Apartments, 96 units under the workforce housing program the city had.” He added that his company previously built Elk Ridge in 02/2008.
Kendall House, identified in the segment as the project manager, described the construction timeline: “We just broke ground. We're gonna be building this over the next, year, 14 months, and we hope to be open by the 2026, for everyone to start moving in.” Berry stated that 80 of the 96 units will be part of the workforce housing component.
Speakers emphasized use of a local contractor for site preparation. Berry noted crews started Monday and referenced “Perkins cinders” working at the site. The presenters also discussed efforts to preserve trees where feasible while acknowledging some would be removed for infrastructure and root-related concerns.
The presenters encouraged residents to drive by the site on Summit Trail to view progress. No funding amounts or specific financing sources beyond the city’s workforce housing program were specified in the segment.
