More affordable housing is now available downtown thanks to a partnership between the City of St. Thomas and Prespa Group.
The recently completed development at 15 Flora Street consists of 24, one-bedroom units.
Prespa Group has developed the strategically designed and built apartment building over a two-year period.
It represents safe and affordable housing for seniors, acknowledges Mayor Joe Preston.
There are four, barrier-free units, parking for each apartment, kitchen appliances, ensuite laundry, air conditioning, and a community room for socializing and activities.
The partnership illustrates the role private developers can play in tackling the city’s housing challenges, advises Preston.
Heather Sheridan, St. Thomas Director of Social Services adds the partnership reflects the city’s commitment to supporting residents who need it most.
Preston says the partnership is perfect for what the city needs to do.
Sheridan makes it clear, “Affordable housing is a fundamental need, and this development marks a vital step toward providing our seniors with safe, comfortable, and accessible living options right here in St. Thomas.”
She adds, “Our partnership with Prespa Group reflects our commitment to supporting residents who need it most. Together, we’re creating not only a housing
solution but a stronger, more connected, and resilient St. Thomas, where seniors can thrive within their community.”
