Greenlight Communities has closed on Cabana Kyrene, a 229-unit workforce housing project in Tempe, Ariz. The developer focuses exclusively on building affordable housing without relying on government subsidies.

The Tempe City Council unanimously approved the project on Oct. 1 which also included the rezoning of the site from planned commercial center neighborhood to multifamily residential high density.

Cabana Kyrene’s approval last week landed on the backdrop of Tempe’s General Plan 2050, an agenda voted for and implemented in March. The strategy touched upon land use, transportation, parks, as well as economic development, among others.
