Pender Crossing is a 48-unit affordable apartment community for residents earning between 40% and 60% of the area median income.  Pender Crossing will provide 18 one-bedroom, 18 two-bedroom apartments, and 12 three-bedroom townhomes, including several units with features for those with disabilities.

Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. is the general contractor while the City of Wilson provided a long-term ground lease. The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA) supported the project through allocating federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits.

Apartments at Pender Crossing will have open concept design with ENERGY STAR appliances, including dishwashers, quality cabinetry, luxury vinyl tile flooring, attractive finishes, blinds, washer/dryer closets with connections.  Each unit will have a 16 square foot dedicated storage closet. The community building will include a multipurpose community room with kitchenette that residents can use for social gatherings, fitness center, computer room, laundry facility, and an onsite management/leasing office.

Exterior amenities at Pender Crossing will include a playground and a covered picnic area with tables and grills. Additional benches will be located throughout the property.

The Wilson Housing Authority is supporting the development with rental assistance for 25 residents. The project is expected to be completed in late 2025. (wilsonnc.org has the full release)
