Bellfort Park Apartments, near the Willowbend, Braeswood, and Willow Meadows communities, celebrated its grand re-opening on July 28, 2021. The community of 64 garden-style apartments has provided homes to Houstonians since 1955, serving individuals and families of low- and moderate- incomes. This renovation, the first development completed through the City of Houston’s Harvey Multifamily Program, updates the apartments and keeps them affordable for another four decades.

Bellfort Park offers homes to residents who work in essential jobs, such as teachers, retail managers, paramedics, and nurse assistants. Aside from providing updated homes and community spaces, the renovations also elevated living spaces and created infrastructure for renewable energy sources and floodproofing. Residents will benefit from on-site career training, tax preparation, and health fair services offered by the property.

“Bellfort Park was an amazing opportunity for KCG to serve the local community and the city of Houston,” said Ina Spokas, vice president of development for KCG Development, LLC. “We truly believe in our vision of building better lives through better communities. Through this public-private effort, Bellfort Park is a shining example of how those funds were used to create beautiful, safe, new homes for its residents.”
