Proving what's possible in affordable housing.

The Park Court Apartments redevelopment shows what’s possible when performance, design, and community come together. This once-aging property has been transformed into a high-performance, affordable housing community that’s healthier, more comfortable, and built to last.

Through collaboration with TightLines Designs and the Goldsboro Housing Authority, our Multifamily & Commercial Services team at Southern Energy Management guided Park Court from concept to certification; achieving LEED v4.1 Gold and ENERGY STAR® V3.0 certifications.

Sustainability that serves people.

By reusing an existing site, Park Court preserved the neighborhood’s character and green space while offering dignified, energy-efficient housing for a diverse population.

The project not only lowers energy use and utility costs but also enhances health, comfort, and stability for residents, statsproving that sustainability and affordability can thrive together.

This redevelopment stands as a replicable model for other housing authorities and developers looking to modernize existing assets, hit ESG goals, and improve community well-being.
