2013 HAND Housing Achievement Awards BEST LARGE DEVELOPMENT Monarch Mills, Howard County Housing
Monarch Mills is a new 269 unit mixed-income, multi-generational, amenity rich, sustainably designed community in Columbia, Maryland. The units are all distributed amongst 10 craftsman-style inspired garden rental buildings. They are organized around a large common green, segregating vehicular and pedestrian circulation. A continuous pedestrian path links all of the buildings and site amenities such that residents on foot need never cross the path of a car. Monarch Mills is an example of an affordable, quality and sustainable mixed-income community in which market rate and affordable units are indistinguishable and therefore interchangeable. The community is owned by Howard County Housing and was developed in partnership with Shelter Development, LLC. Congratulations Monarch Mills!
