A steady drip of new housing will land on Fisherville Road in Concord in the next few years, as construction begins on one condo development and another begins to put listings on the market.
Both Tanager Circle and The Townhomes at Capital Pointe propose to put several dozen townhouse-style condos with two or three bedrooms along a major city throughway and aim to create a sense of neighborliness through shared amenities within their projects.
These two neighboring developments are part of about 300 units of housing under construction in the city.
The first round of units at Tanager Circle — in total, 68 townhouses are planned — went up for sale a few weeks ago at around $400,000 to $425,000 each. There are three yet to be claimed, and another set of eight units is planned to go on the market in the coming weeks, according to Christine Tatro, the real estate agent for the project. The rollout will continue over the next few years.
The project aims to provide “the feel of a really nice luxury condo at affordable pricing,” Tatro said.
All two-bedroom units at Tanager Circle range from about 1,450 to 1,750 square feet and include a garage and balcony. The complex will also have shared amenities including a clubhouse, pool, barbecue area, pergola and picnic tables.
Across the street, construction is now underway at The Townhomes at Capital Pointe, which will build 83 condos in 11 buildings alongside a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, walking trails and playground.
“The people that are going to be moving in here, we want them to be able to feel good about it, want to spend time here,” said Anthony Fusco, a co-owner and builder behind the project.
Each unit will include three bedrooms at 1,500 square feet, and the first few are planned to be complete mid-summer, with around 30 up for sale by the end of the year.
While the housing will be built for people of all ages, continued Fusco and co-owner and developer Shane Carter, their vision is to provide mid-market, entry-level homeownership for the workforce, a middle ground between renting and what have previously been considered “starter homes” but are increasingly out of reach.
“The whole goal is to bring more families in,” Fusco said. — CATHERINE MCLAUGHLIN/CONCORD MONITOR
