Dear Mayor Addington and Members of the Wolfforth City Council,
My name is Brett Johnson and I am writing on behalf of the Overland Property Group to express my firms’ interest in developing a multi-family apartment community in Wolfforth. We have been in business since 2002 and have developed over 2,000 apartment units in 5 states, including Texas.
Our interest in Wolfforth is a result of numerous studies and analysis of the Lubbock/Wolfforth markets over the past 4 years. Presently, we have 108 units nearing completion on 98th an U Ave in Lubbock which some of you toured recently. It is our desire to develop a similar community in Wolfforth and have had preliminary discussions with Darrell Newsome regarding potential sites.
Part of the success of our portfolio is our focus on both “affordable housing” as well as standard “market-rate” units. We believe that this mix provides communities with much needed workforce housing while also providing units to young families, teachers and young professionals with an affordable, safe place to call home.
In the following pages you will find information on my firm as well as a brief explanation of the process we will need to follow in order to bring this development to Wolfforth. I encourage you to take a few minutes to review the information within and feel free to email or call me with any questions.
I would like to schedule a work-session and / or tour of our property in Lubbock prior to a November Council meeting. Best regards,
Brett Johnson
