The Heritage—Columbus, OH
The Heritage (f.k.a. Agler Green) is a 384 unit project
based Section 8 development on 35 acres.
The once crime riddled development known as
“Uzi Alley” has 100% occupancy. The Heritage at
the time it opened for leasing in 2003 had 1000
applicants and a two year waiting list. It continues
to be a marquee development in Columbus,
OH. Part of the attraction is the size of the units,
which are very large for a project based Section 8
property. The Heritage was the largest affordable
housing development in the State of Ohio for
two years and the largest single project in Ohio
Capital Corporation for Housing’s (OCCH) equity
investment portfolio. This property was featured
in Affordable Housing Finance magazine for its
creative finance structure and was recognized by
HUD for having completed the first IRP Decoupling
through OMHAR in the country. The property
features a community center, five playgrounds
and basketball courts. Residents have been able
to participate in numerous activities sponsored by
The KBK Foundation, the community supportive
services entity of KBK Enterprises. The total project
cost for this development was $26 million.
