It was designed to meet Universal Design standards and achieve EarthCraft Gold certification. The Spire includes a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, including 12 fully accessible homes, that will serve households with incomes ranging from 30 to 60% AMI. By a nearly unanimous vote, the congregation voted to make a lasting difference to the community by transforming their two-acre plot of land into a new worship space and affordable housing through a partnership with AHC. Seven years in the making, The Spire became a reality thanks to Episcopal Church of the Resurrection’s (ECR) mission-driven vision. The Spire is a brand new affordable apartment community with 113 new homes in the City of Alexandria’s Beauregard neighborhood.
