The third iteration of a series of affordable housing projects designed for Foundation Communities, Waterloo Terrace improves upon its predecessors as a socially and environmentally responsible home for the members of Austin’s community in need of housing and support. Featuring 132 efficiency units interwoven with amenity areas with social and educational programs, the residences focus inwardly around a multi-height terraced courtyard.

Given its management model of providing affordable, all-bills-paid units to its thoughtfully-screened tenant base, buildings such as Waterloo Terrace benefit from highly-efficient VRF HVAC systems, energy recovery and related sustainable building and operating practices. Above all, the high design quality evident throughout Waterloo Terrace engenders its tenants with a sense of pride and stewardship which carry immeasurable intangible benefits. Forge Craft is honored to be considered amongst Foundation Communities’ preferred architects.
