Development Partners, City Officials Mark the Start of New $88 Million Amenity-Rich, Mixed-Use Development Coming to Former Site of Hibbert Lumberyard DAVIS, Calif., September 1, 2026 (Newswire.com) - Mayor Donna Neville and other City of Davis officials headlined a groundbreaking ceremony hosted today by The Michaels Organization and its development partners KUDA and JOIN for a new multifamily, mixed-use community, in the heart of downtown Davis. The $88 million development, branded "The Lumberyard," will rise on the former site of Hibbert's Lumberyard and Hardware Store at the intersection of G and 5th Streets, in downtown. "The Lumberyard Project, where families can live, work and shop all in one location, can ensure downtown Davis remains vibrant, economically strong and sustainable for generations to come," said Davis Mayor Donna Neville. "By encouraging private investment, we can bring new residents, customers and energy to the historic downtown while making efficient use of land in areas of the city that are already developed." The five-story mid-rise will offer 239 apartments along with a variety of high-end amenities and a dedicated public paseo along the railroad tracks. Additionally, five percent of the apartments will be set aside for households earning 50 percent or less of the Area Median Income. Amenities will include a state-of-the-art fitness center, co-working space, clubhouse, pool and spa, and a landscaped roof deck and sky-lounge on the 5th floor. Apartments will range from studios to four-bedrooms, with open layouts, high-end finishes, and energy-efficient appliances and lighting. "We are excited to bring this new housing and commercial space to this important site, where our future residents will be within walking distance of all that downtown has to offer," said Michael (Mick) Flannagan, Michaels' Chief Investment Officer. "It's an honor to work alongside the City of Davis and our development partners to create a vibrant, sustainable community that will serve the Davis community for years to come." The community's design pays tribute to the site's history as a lumberyard through features such as a sawtooth roof, corrugated metal, wood-inspired siding, and rustic red accents. The building will also feature solar panels and a wraparound roof deck. Additional sustainability features will include energy-efficient HVAC systems, low-flow plumbing fixtures, drought-tolerant or native landscaping, and smart technology controls in each apartment. The development is designed to achieve LEED certification. Along with Michaels, the development team includes Kyuden Urban Development America (KUDA) and Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport & Urban Development (JOIN), general contractor Brown Construction, and BDE Architects. Michaels will serve as both property and asset manager. Construction is expected to be completed in 2028. About The Michaels Organization Michaels is a national leader in residential real estate, offering full-service capabilities in development, property and asset management, construction, and investment.

Prioritizing its workforce with attainable housing. September 1, 2026 LOUMED is proud to announce a new partnership with The Michaels Organization to develop attainable housing solutions for its healthcare and education workforce. Louisville Medical and Education District is currently evaluating location options within the district to identify the ideal site for this initiative, marking a meaningful step forward in advancing the long-term vision of its community. Bringing 50 years of experience in affordable housing development, The Michaels Organization is a pioneer in creating attainable housing for workers earning between 80% and 120% of an area's median income. With approximately 75% of hospital employees falling into this category, this demographic represents essential workers who often earn too much to qualify for traditional housing subsidies yet still struggle to afford market-rate homes in the communities where they work. Addressing this "missing middle" is a priority for LOUMED. When healthcare professionals are priced out of local neighborhoods, they face longer commutes and increased daily stress. By providing attainable housing options, Louisville Medical and Education District can help reduce staff turnover, stabilize shifts and mitigate the premium costs associated with contract labor. Ultimately, keeping its workforce close to campus builds a stronger, more resilient healthcare system and ensures high-quality patient care, which are cornerstones of LOUMED. The Michaels Organization has a strong history of bringing these transformative projects to life through strategic partnerships. In New Orleans, the group partnered with LSU Health Sciences Center to build a 10-story community featuring 473 units. This $102 million investment provides economical housing for medical students and faculty near the medical campus. Similarly, they built Oliver Station in Camden, New Jersey, a three-story mixed-use community that successfully pairs 47 affordable apartments with a ground-floor medical practice operated by Virtua Health. This fall, The Michaels Organization will break ground on a new attainable housing community in partnership with Tampa General Hospital. Though Michaels is headquartered in New Jersey, the organization is known for becoming part of the communities where it builds. Michaels manages its properties directly rather than handing them off, supports local job creation during construction and operations, and invests in community resources and resident programs that keep its developments neighborhood assets for years to come. To learn more about its new partner, please visit The Michaels Organization online at TMO.com. Louisville Medical and Education District also want to hear from its community as Louisville Medical and Education District move forward, so Louisville Medical and Education District invite you to share your perspectives and ideas regarding this initiative by emailing Louisville Medical and Education District at [email protected].

Urban Practice breaks ground on 112 military homes at Fort Benning. Neighborhood emphasizes walkability, connection, and everyday family life for military residents Fort Benning, GA, May 11, 2026 - Urban Practice joined Colonel Jerel D. Evans, Fort Benning's Garrison Commander, and development partner The Michaels Organization to celebrate the groundbreaking of Norton Court, a new residential neighborhood bringing 112 townhomes to military families at Fort Benning. The new two-story homes will replace 112 legacy townhomes originally built in the 1950s and will feature three- and four-bedroom layouts, detached garages, and fenced backyards. Planned as a central neighborhood within Fort Benning, Norton Court was designed to support both everyday family life and a strong sense of community for military families who often relocate throughout their service. "We understood early on that this project was about building both homes and community," said Jim Haley, Principal at Urban Practice. "Military families are constantly adapting to new places and routines, so we focused on creating a neighborhood that encourages connection, supports daily life, and feels welcoming from the moment families arrive." The neighborhood is organized around walkable streets, front porches, shared green spaces, playgrounds, and gathering areas intended to encourage interaction among residents and create opportunities for neighbors and families to connect over time. Inside the homes, the design emphasizes comfort, functionality, and long-term sustainability, with open living spaces, energy-efficient systems, and layouts designed to support the routines of everyday family life. Norton Court is named in honor of Captain John Henry "Jack" Norton of the 47th Infantry Regiment, who displayed extraordinary heroism in combat. A portion of the Fort Benning training grounds was officially named after the Norton family in 1925. Construction on the new community is expected to be completed in May 2028. Urban Practice's project team included Josh Eckert, Andrea Garland, and Alfio Racite. Project partners included Clark Building Group, Pennoni, Onyx Design & Consulting, Holstein White, and MaGrann Associates.
