September marked the start of the third set of buildings in the transformation area – Unity Place at Kindred, which joins Origin Circle and Reunion Senior Living at Kindred.

When complete, Unity Place will have 140 energy-efficient apartments serving a mix of incomes to include former Tidewater Gardens residents. Available in 2025, they will also feature a landscaped plaza, a fitness center, ground floor retail and conference space.

The first two buildings at Kindred exemplify architecture that is family-centric, modern, diverse, aesthetically pleasing, and complimentary of the neighborhood. Visionary and sustainable, Kindred property designs are also based on resident input during hundreds of hours of community meetings.

Largely built over an old creek bed, Tidewater Gardens frequently flooded, adding to the deterioration of its outdated infrastructure and making roads and thoroughfares impassable when it rained. Kindred’s infrastructure is specifically engineered to connect individuals and vehicles to Norfolk’s vast network of streets, roads and public transportation while lifting housing outside the floodplain.
