Hundreds of families lost their homes in the tornado that tore through Selma last year. If housing was an issue before, it became an urgent need following Jan. 12, 2023.
As a result, leaders in Selma are now rethinking how they can build smooth paths to homeownership for their neighbors. This comes in the way of restoring over 100 homes to a healthy, livable condition through the housing authority, educating residents on how to get a mortgages and even giving away the occasional home for free.
The last came to fruition on April 21.
Members of several organizations gathered in front of a house off of Broad Street that day to announce that one Selma family would receive the new-build home free of charge. With 3-bedrooms, 2-bathrooms, a front porch and wind-resistant architecture, the home was valued around $169,500.
“The City of Selma is grateful to partner with NACA, the Selma Housing Authority and the Black Belt Community Foundation to provide this extraordinary opportunity,” Selma Mayor James Perkins said in a statement. “We cannot wait to share our excitement with the winner.”
Meet the winning family
Drawn in a random lottery that Sunday, the winner is Tamicka Newberry, a 44-year-old Selma native and mother of three. The 2023 tornado displaced Newberry, her husband and her kids, and since then, they have been living in a North Selma apartment complex.
“We lost everything and then had to adjust,” Newberry said. “We just truly thank God because God made all this possible for us. We’re just truly blessed.”
In the last few weeks, the good news came in threes: Newberry got a new job, her daughter got married and they won the new home.
“It’s a brand new start,” she said.
Since the BBCF and the Selma Housing Authority are fully furnishing the place for Newberry, it’s not quite move-in ready yet, but the family is planning to move as soon as they can. Newberry is also taking a financial management class so that she can maximize the benefits of her new, free house.
“Unfortunately, systemic racism has left us with a biased way of attaining wealth in our communities, and so by having Ms. Newberry to own a home, right off the block, she has equity,” BBCF President Felecia Lucky said. “That’s how you begin to build wealth and communities, so that’s the goal.”
Other houses coming soon
Newberry’s home is one of 100 new, affordable homes that NACA is constructing in Selma. Four other homes are completed too, though their new owners will take on affordable mortgages through a partnership with NACA and Bank of America.
The rest of the houses will be doled out to Selma locals through a NACA housing lottery where selected buyers will pay an adjusted mortgage that is approximately 30% of their gross income with no down payments, closing costs or additional fees.
Selma Housing Authority CEO Kennard Randolph said his organization has provided 27 plots of land to NACA for the project, and it has purchased about 73 more to rehabilitate alone.
“This is unprecedented for housing authorities. Housing authorities typically don’t do community revitalization,” Randolph said. “We are becoming private landlords. We were already in the multifamily, but now, we are buying houses throughout the community, and the Black Belt Community Foundation is helping with those initiatives.”
Randolph also sits on the board for the BBCF, so when the foundation decided to get support post-tornado housing initiatives, he was the resident expert. After some discussions, the board committed about $700,000 to support the affordable housing efforts in Selma.
“We know that housing has forever been an issue here in the Black Belt region,” Lucky. “if you want to do good and leave a legacy for the work that you’re doing, this is a place to do it.”
Lucky asked that anyone who wants to help continue BBCF initiatives donate to the foundation online.
How to apply for a NACA home
While the first NACA home in Selma has already been given away, about 99 more will be coming available for purchase through the housing lottery.
In order to be eligible to purchase a home through NACA, potential buyers must first attend a workshop on homeownership. They are offered both in person and online. To find the most convenient workshop for you, visit NACA.com and sign up.
With more questions or concerns, potential buyers can contact NACA at services@naca.com or 425-602-6222.

The Memphis area’s median home price saw a small decrease in the first quarter of 2024, according to data released by the Memphis Area Association of Realtors.
The median sales price decreased from $196,000 in the first quarter of 2023 to $189,000 in the same period this year, a 3.6% change. The association’s report includes data from Shelby, Tipton and Fayette counties.
Joel Hobson, principal broker and owner of Hobson Realtors, said the small overall decrease can be attributed to the market finally nearing some stability after the COVID pandemic. One aspect of the market that is evening out is interest rates.
“It’s going to be kind of an up-and-down situation on interest rates, I believe,” Hobson said. “I think these kind of interest rates that we have in the 6 to 7 (percent) range are probably going to become the new normal at some point.”
Hobson said that while he didn’t personally notice the small median decrease, relatively little change in home prices, up or down, is a good thing for both buyers and sellers.
“Most people that sell also buy,” Hobson said. “It’s great when they sell, but if they don’t know where they’re going to go, they end up not putting their house on the market because they don’t think they can find a house. So a more even market… is going to be good for everybody.”
Hobson’s overall assessment of the market in Memphis is a positive one, for both current residents and those looking to move to the Bluff City.
“Memphis is still the least expensive major city in the country to buy a house,” he said. “And people are figuring that out from all over the country.”
Here is a closer look at Memphis neighborhoods and the prices changes they saw in the first quarter.
TIPS FOR HOMEBUYERS:Thinking about buying your first home? What to know before your home-buying journey begins
Memphis-area home price decreases by neighborhood
Fortunately for Memphis buyers, several neighborhoods saw decreases in the median sales price over the first quarter of 2024. The data compares prices from January to March 2024 to the same period in 2023.
- Berclair had a modest decrease, going from a median price of $95,000 to $89,000, a 6.3% change.
- East Memphis saw a decrease of 2.4%, going from $205,000 to $200,000.
- Raleigh saw a 2.0% decrease, with the median price going from $148,000 to $145,000.
- Whitehaven saw the median price slightly drop from $116,300 to $114,750, a 1.6% decrease.
Memphis-area home price increases by neighborhood
Other Memphis neighborhoods saw increases in median sales price, although most were small increases. The data once again compares prices from January to March 2024 to the same period in 2023.
- South Memphis saw the largest increase to the median sales price in the city at 11.9%, up from $65,000 to $72,750. The area still remains the cheapest to buy in in the city.
- Southwind’s median price went up from $321,905 to $346,000, an increase of 7.5%.
- Midtown’s median price increased 3.4% increase, going up from $164,250 to $169,900.
- Hickory Hill saw a 1.6% increase, as the median price went from $172,250 to $175,000.
- Frayser had a 1.1% increase, with the price going from $90,000 to $91,000.
- Parkway Village had negligible increase, as the median price only went up from $120,000 to $120,450, or 0.4%.

LANSING — Jan Munk was drawn to her eastside neighborhood more than four decades ago by its diversity and affordability.
The neighborhood, just a mile and a half from the heart of downtown, isn’t as nice as it once was, she says, but she’s hoping that a new initiative to rehab nine older homes bought for possible expansion by Sparrow Hospital but recently donated to nonprofits will help revitalize streets around her home.
Habitat for Humanity Capital Region and the Ingham County Land Bank will renovate the homes.
“Houses in our neighborhood are over $200,000, that’s never happened here,” Munk said. “I know I could sell our house. But what kind of place could you move to? My kids grew up here and I’d like to stay.”
Michigan’s population is stagnant, and that isn’t likely to change unless the state’s housing crisis is addressed, experts say. In the Lansing region alone, officials estimate 7,500 housing units need to be built soon just to keep up with the demand. The pace of rehabilitation of the region’s older housing stock needs to quicken as well.
The lack of housing stock has sent home prices spiraling upward, at time when inflation has made rehabbing older homes expensive and, in some cases, nearly cost prohibitive.
It’s a real-world problem officials are grappling with now. With several major employers set to open in the next year — including an Ultium battery plant and Amazon fulfillment center in Delta Township — the Lansing area is expecting to get more new jobs in a shorter time period than it has in years.
But where those new workers will live could be a big problem, said Ken Fletcher, Delta Township’s supervisor.
There are just over 100 homes on the market with price points under $100,000, largely in Lansing, but experts caution many of those homes could need significant, expensive repairs. There’s another 111 priced between $100,000 and $200,000, and more than 80 of those are in Ingham County, primarily in Lansing. For residents wanting to buy homes in Eaton and Clinton counties, or the more affluent areas of Ingham County, the vast majority of homes will be priced between $200,000 and $400,000 or more.
The Amazon and Ultium developments are expected to create more than 2,200 jobs by the end of 2025.
There aren’t enough homes
Like the rest of Michigan, the low supply of quality housing is a big driver of increased housing costs, said Hillary Doe, Michigan’s chief growth officer.
She cited Federal Reserve Bank data, from Chicago’s branch, showing that Michigan needs to figure out housing before it can grow. That’s going to take fixing up old homes, building new single family homes and standing up new apartment buildings, Doe said. The downtown Lansing area added at least 600 housing units in the last two and a half years with hundreds more that are under construction.
There simply aren’t enough housing units, and that lack of options causes housing costs to rise, said Amy Hovey, CEO and executive director of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, which offers programs for renters, owners and developers.
“The big issue we have in our state is supply, we don’t have enough housing to meet our needs and we can’t just build our way out of it without some incentives or subsidies,” she said.
State housing leaders announced earlier this month a new statewide grant program with $60 million to fix dilapidated homes or build new ones.
Doe came to Lansing a few days later, for a separate housing announcement for new apartments units at the REO Gateway Apartments, at Washington Avenue and Malcolm X Street, beside Interstate 496.
A fourth building at REO Gateway, that will rely on state funding, was announced. It will have two dozen new units, in addition to the complex’s 72 existing units, which started opening for lease last year.
The apartments took about a decade to build from the concept, said developer Brett Forsberg.
That timeline needs to be dramatically compressed, he said, if Michigan wants to build more housing.
How many houses do we need?
State data puts the number of new homes that need to be built at around 7,500 in Greater Lansing.
Alan Fox, Ingham County’s treasurer and a board member of the Ingham County Land Bank, said the number may be closer to 10,000, but coming anywhere close to either number would take many years and plenty of effort.
Fletcher said Delta Township has gotten serious, and creative, about opening up housing options in preparation for the township’s new employers.
The township has recently changed its ordinances to allow for more variety of homes — like smaller cottage homes and more permissive multi-family projects — and is working to expand sewer access to open development in the western parts, Fletcher said.
The township recently approved an expansion that would nearly double one of the area’s larger apartment complexes, adding another 354 units in 11 new buildings.
Developers have been more interested in apartments and multi-family units than neighborhoods of single-family homes, potentially because of the current interest and construction costs, he said.
Some of that may be changing soon.
Even as costs remain high, the number of new home permits in February was 38% higher than February 2023. That may be, in part, a one-time statistical blip because of potential new state regulations and a mild winter, said Bob Filka, CEO of the Home Builders Association of Michigan.
“There are too few housing options available and we’ve had a mild winter,” Filka said. “This, along with the potential of significant new housing costs being imposed by LARA (Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs) later this year, with new costly proposed code requirements, explains the acceleration we’re seeing.”
He said builders worry that sprinklers and other potential code requirements could increase costs for a single home by $20,000 or more.
Filka said regulatory and construction costs already make it “usually impossible to build a home for less than $350,000 or $400,000 and make money in the mid-Michigan market.”
Not even $15 billion would fix it
Fox said the housing shortage is a $15 billion problem, assuming 7,500 homes could be built for a likely unrealistic $200,000 each. But it would still be difficult, if not impossible, to find the people, the material and the land to do it in a reasonable time period.
The county doesn’t have billions. It does have $9 million remaining in pandemic money dedicated toward housing and county commissioners are starting to float a proposal to add a county millage to support housing.
The existing money won’t go far if the county builds homes; it’d be a few dozen houses.
So instead, Fox and county officials are planning to use it to fund educational programs, attract private investment and otherwise try to stretch the money.
Encouraging homeowners to keep up with repairs, connecting investors with local real estate options and helping renters to save up money are some of the ways the area’s housing situation will get better, he said.
And nonprofits will play a role.
It will take several years for the homes Sparrow Health System once bought for possible expansion of health facilities to be rehabbed, said Brent Taylor, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Capital Region, adding that his organization is about six months into that process. They are working on about half of the homes.
For the Sparrow homes, Taylor said it was important to renovate those as single-family homes. Having a broad mix of housing — rentals, single-family homes and others — is important, although one of the gaps in the market now is single-family homes, he said. Many of the homes Sparrow donated were split over the years into duplexes and will be converted back into large single-family homes.
The homes tick all the boxes for Josh Hamilton, who lives in the neighborhood and works for University of Michigan Health-Sparrow. As he waited for the school bus to drop off kids Monday, Hamilton said he wanted the vacant homes to be fixed up and owner-occupied so he’ll have some new neighbors soon.
“I’m excited to see it happen,” Hamilton said.
‘We can’t just build our way out of it’
The state has been in a housing crisis for years, Hovey said.
“We can’t just build our way out of it without some incentives or subsidies because of what it costs for people to build,” Hovey said. “Because what it costs to build, the average Michigander can’t afford to pay.”
The incentives and subsidies would come from a variety of state and federal programs, along with municipal and county-level programs. There are so many options that working with a local housing agency can help people find programs, Hovey said.
She said the state’s efforts at attracting jobs are running into problems because potential recruits can’t always find housing. That means companies sometimes pull out of Michigan plans or don’t consider the state due to a lack of housing.
“You cannot imagine how frustrating it is for an employee to have to pull out of a job, and say they can’t find housing so they can’t take that job,” Hovey said. “That happens across our state, including in Lansing.”
Rawley Van Fossen, Lansing’s director of economic development and planning, said the Capital Area Housing Partnership, Habitat for Humanity Capital Region, the Ingham County Land Bank and Eastside Community Action Center are four of the groups doing the work on the former Sparrow homes. Together they can probably do dozens a year, welcome relief for some but it doesn’t go far enough.
Fixing up those homes — and others like them in Lansing, which has many homes 75 years old or older — will often cost more than they will be valued at afterward, said Van Fossen, who until recently was the executive director of the Capital Area Housing Partnership.
Van Fossen said it can cost a homeowner or a property developer a few hundred thousand dollars to buy a Lansing property, get the professional planning work necessary for the renovation, get permits, hire a contractor and pay for the renovation. At the end, the home may appraise for $170,000, on a good day, he said.
“There’s a gap,” he said, acknowledging a major factor that can keep people from improving homes in Lansing. “A private developer or someone who is not mission based, they’re not going to do that. We can’t rely on our nonprofits.”
Most people will need more financial support.
He said some of the city’s best tools are education and connections to a wide variety of financial supports: Teaching real estate and financial literacy at community centers and being able to walk people through the permitting and construction process. The state offers several programs to help fund repairs, renovations, new homeowners, early-stage developers and large-scale developments.
Utility companies can also offer incentives for appliances and modernizations, Van Fossen said.
Anyone who wants to do significant renovations for themselves, or even get into developing houses or flipping them, can go to Lansing’s offices and get some help with the wide variety of programs, Van Fossen said.
To get more affordable housing, Filka suggests density like smaller lots and multi-family options like townhomes or duplexes, as well as taking advantage of state subsidies like tax credits and construction subsidies.

HILLSDALE — Hillsdale’s leaders joined with representatives from Portage-based Allen Edwin Homes Monday for a groundbreaking ceremony on Hidden Meadows Drive where middle-income housing for the workforce will be built.
Allen Edwin Homes first came to the city in the fall of 2023 with their plan to build three duplex-style residential units that will ultimately house six families with occupancy available in early 2025.
The project is the first in Hillsdale to take advantage of new state legislation which allows developers to seek payment in lieu of taxes agreements with municipalities in order to entice housing development.
The council approved a 10-percent PILOT payment over 15 years for Allen Edwin Homes’ project in Hillsdale, which came under scrutiny of Councilman Joshua Paladino when the council took up the issue on Nov. 20, 2023.
Paladino, who opposed the concept of the PILOT payments, ultimately voted no on the resolution to allow the project to proceed while the rest of the council voted aye.
“Hillsdale is experiencing a surge of energy as investment in the community continues to grow,” Brian Farkas, director of workforce housing for Allen Edwin Homes, said. “Allen Edwin Homes is thrilled to be part of this momentum by bringing more housing to Hillsdale.”
Previously, the PILOT incentive only applied to developments qualifying for low-income housing tax credits, which typically involve large apartment complexes. By contrast, this new tool can be applied to smaller apartment developments and single-family homes, city officials said.
The agreement with the city requires Allen Edwin to keep rents affordable to families earning up to 120% of the median household income for 15 years.
“We are excited to be working with Allen Edwin Homes to bring additional housing options to Hillsdale,” Hillsdale Mayor Adam Stockford said. “Housing is a need, not only in Hillsdale but across the entire state. This project builds on the recent growth we’ve been seeing as investors realize the opportunity our community has to offer.”
A state housing report published in 2022 found approximately 47% of the state’s housing units are more than 50 years old and that Michigan needs 190,000 more units to meet current housing needs. The report also found, as of 2019, about 26% of Michigan residents were considered “housing-cost burdened” because they spent more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

“Preserving our aging housing stock and developing new units are both critically important to tackle our housing shortage and grow our local economy,” Hillsdale City Manager David Mackie said. “These new homes will help address the need for affordable housing for working class families, young professionals, or retiring residents who are looking to downsize. This project is a significant step forward.”
The developer has proposed for the second phase a mix of “for sale” and rental single-family homes on the remaining acreage in the Three Meadows Subdivision they currently have under exclusive option.

Coastal Georgia’s boom in new industries, coupled with its population increase, has forced local authorities to pause and take into account where the influx of newcomers holding these new gigs will lay their head at night. Chatham County alone, for example, has a housing deficit of 9,300-10,000 units, especially to support workforce housing for those making 60% to 120%. of area median income.
The Savannah Economic Development Authority (SEDA) is teaming up with Georgia Tech for a Comprehensive Coastal Georgia Housing study, which was introduced during SEDA’s monthly meeting Tuesday. The research will take inventory of the housing stock in Bryan, Bulloch, Chatham and Effingham counties, as well as the city of Savannah to determine the best areas for housing growth.
What does a housing study do?
Each county and the City of Savannah will pay $20,000 for the study. A state grant worth $100,000 will go toward the project.

Betsy McGriff of the Center for Economic Development Research at Georgia Tech said this kind of research is imperative to ensure communities are built to grow over time.
“We do this to make sure your infrastructure can handle the development you propose,” said McGriff. “What we are doing will be a community engaged process.”
Can laborers afford to live here?
There is one major issue looming regarding the housing boom that is expected to occur. Many of the homes in the area are out of reach financially.
“You look at wages and if there’s a mismatch between wages on the market and the cost of homes, that might be considered in terms of what you try to drive as far as construction,” said McGriff. “If the demographic shows a certain area has a one-person household, you may consider smaller homes. The government can issue a request for proposal and work with the development authority to drive the kind of development they want to public property [that they own]. The big piece is, time is money. The more you can streamline that process – you can drive down the cost of development.”
According to the real estate website Redfin, the average home prices in each county are:
- Bryan County: $430,000
- Bulloch County: $265,000
- Chatham County: $352,000
- Effingham County: $318,000
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, however, the average median household income across the four-county region is shy of $75,000, which means most households could not afford a home above $245,000 without being cost burdened.
Georgia Congressman Buddy Carter said during a previous interview that the state has been “addressing” the need for funding to go towards workforce housing.
“That’s extremely important,” said Carter. “Federal funds have been flowing through the state to address that. We are going to make sure they have what they need.”
Carter did not provide a dollar amount.
While some counties allow the market to determine the price of homes, McGriff said there are ways to mitigate the cost. She said it is important to attract developments that “the CEO and the security guard can afford.”
McGriff said she grew up in a rural community and understands the hardships that come with change and said that community character will be considered as Georgia Tech conducts its research.
She added that because Georgia is a property rights state, owners, for the most part, have control over their land.
“You can’t shut the gate and tell people not to come. What you can do is drive development to the places where services are appropriate and preserve green spaces. We are cognizant of that but we also want to be welcoming of people that are investing in the community. You have to balance that out.”
The study is slated to be complete by October.

A Milwaukee-based real estate developer plans to bring an apartment development to the former site of St. Bernard Congregation and Wauwatosa Catholic School in the Wauwatosa village. Here’s what to know.
Three Leaf Partners named as developer to purchase St. Bernard parish
Three Leaf Partners LLC submitted its plans for a three-story multi-family development at 7474 Harwood Ave. to the City of Wauwatosa weeks after parishioners learned St. Bernard would close to merge with its sister parish Christ King.
Rev. Phillip Bogacki, pastor of both parishes, told parishioners in a letter that parish leaders had chosen a developer to whom they would sell the St. Bernard property, but didn’t name Three Leaf Partners. Proceeds of the sale will serve as an infusion of cash to carry the newly merged parish forward, he said.
Three Leaf Partners, co-founded by Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton, has developed hotels, multi-family apartment buildings and other projects around the Milwaukee area, Minnesota and Indiana. The firm developed the Honey Creek Apartments in Wauwatosa and is working on multi-family apartments and townhomes in Hartland.
St. Bernard property to be replaced by 163-unit apartment building
Three Leaf Partners’ plans would bring a 163-unit apartment building to the coveted property in the Wauwatosa village, plans by Milwaukee-based Korb + Associates Architects show.
One-bedroom units from 650 to 850 square feet would make up most of the building, while more spacious one-bedroom units from 850 to 950 square feet and two-bedroom units that are 1,150 to 1,250 square feet will also be available.
Below the three levels of apartment units, a basement garage will provide 187 parking spots for residents. Twenty-three parking spots north of the building are planned for visitors.
A courtyard will bring residents an outdoor space within the apartment complex’s walls, complete with grills and a fire pit. The building will include a storage area for bikes, a fitness room and club room, among other amenities.
How much will Three Leaf Partners’ apartment development on Harwood Avenue cost?
The project costs $46 million and Three Leaf Partners does not plan to ask for tax incremental financing, or TIF, according to the BizTimes, which first reported on the development.
Representatives of Three Leaf Partners did not immediately respond to requests for an interview.
The firm has sought out TIF in other projects, including $13 million in city financing help for an apartment project in West Allis.
Parts of St. Bernard’s history may be preserved in the new developments, plans show
Plans show that developers and architects may repurpose the bricks, stained glass and other aspects of the existing building that housed St. Bernard parish, which became Wauwatosa’s first Catholic church in 1911.
Construction on the current parish complex began in 1962. The parish property underwent extensive renovations starting in 2000, which brought new parish and school office centers, a gymnasium and an elevator, according to the parish website.
Rev. Bogacki said in his letter to parishoners that approval from the city for the developers’ plans may take six to nine months and that the parish will remain in their building during that time.
“If plans are approved, we can determine when to set moments to celebrate the good work of our past and pledge ourselves to a renewed future,” he wrote.
Will the new apartment replacing the St. Bernard property in Tosa’s village go before the Common Council?
The development meets the current zoning code and therefore does not need to go to the Common Council for approval, according to Eva Ennamorato, Wauwatosa’s communications manager.
“That’s unique when it comes to developments,” Ennamorato told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The development firm plans to present its plans at the Wauwatosa Design Review Board meeting Thursday, April 18 at 7 p.m. in the Common Council Chambers at Wauwatosa City Hall.
The in-person meeting will not be recorded, and residents can share their thoughts on the development during public comment, Ennamorato said. The development may need to go before the Board of Public Works or other boards to receive certain permits before construction can begin, according to Ennamorato.

A prominent downtown property slated for a 46-story Ritz Carlton Nashville tower has been sold in a foreclosure auction after the developer allegedly stopped making payments to the bank.
R Squared Properties LLC of Washington bought the triangular-shaped 1.2-acre lot at 727 Korean Veterans Boulevard for $35 million on Thursday, according to the deed filed with Davidson County Register’s office.
The property was sold to the “highest bidder for cash” at Metro Nashville Courthouse on Thursday morning, the deed states. The sale price is the same amount the site sold for in March 2020 — $35 million.
R Squared officials did not immediately respond to requests about whether they will continue with development plans for the Ritz hotel.
Seller RC Nashville Development Partners, led by Timothy J. Morris, was sued for defaulting on a $10 million construction loan by Oakworth Capital Bank, the financiers for the original Ritz project. A U.S. Magistrate Judge said on April 1 that the defendants continue to fail to adequately respond to legal filings.
“RC Nashville has not filed an answer,” Judge Barbara D. Holmes wrote. “Although Morris filed a letter on behalf of himself and RC Nashville that could be construed as an answer to the complaint, RC Nashville can only appear in this case through a licensed attorney because it is a limited liability corporation.”
Ritz Carlton Nashville plans stalled shortly after they were announced
Plans announced in 2021 were to build a $585 million hotel and condominium tower filled with upscale design and amenities.
Morris told The Tennessean at the time that he was inspired by the success of Four Seasons Nashville.
“They came in as trailblazers,” Morris said. “They established the fact that people would pay the prices they’re paying for that type of luxuries and that brand and amenities.”
However, trouble surfaced in 2022 when construction was delayed due to financing challenges.
In October 2023, Oakworth Capital Bank filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for Middle Tennessee alleging that Morris and his RC Nashville Development Partners failed to make payments on a $10 million line of credit.
In court documents, Morris said he was beset by difficult economic conditions including high inflation and post-Covid supply chain interruptions.
“It seems only fair to a layman like me that (Oakworth Capital Bank) can take the deed in lieu of foreclosure, sell the property, a course of action I would fully support,” Morris wrote the court. “Plaintiff would be made more than 100% whole financially based on the purported value of the property.”
Morris faces numerous lawsuits
Developer Tim Morris has found himself at the center of several lawsuits regarding his business dealings.
Morris is principal of M2 Development Partners and RC Nashville Development Partners, which was also sued for allegedly failing to make payments on a $10 million loan.
In a separate suit, Oakworth Capital also alleges Morris failed to make payments on a $5.3 million loan for a project he is working on in Washington, D.C.
On April 1, U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara D. Holmes ruled in favor of Oakworth that Morris was in default of his loan payments for that case.
“Although Morris has made some filings in this case, he failed to follow the Court’s instruction in its February 15 order to respond to the motion for entry of default,” Holmes wrote in her order. “Morris’ disregard of the Court’s order justifies entry of default against him.”
In January, real estate development company The Bradley Projects filed a suit against Morris and Patterson Street, LP, alleging the defendants failed to pay back a promissory note totaling $218,750. According to the lawsuit, the payment was due in full Dec. 31, 2023.
M2, Morris and RC Nashville are listed as defendants in another suit filed in December by office building Fifth+ Broadway in downtown Nashville. According to the complaint, M2 and RC, of which Morris is the guarantor, failed to make rent payments to the office owner. The plaintiff is seeking $184,955.46 plus additional damages and interest to be determined at trial.
Two residential homes in Jackson Township have sold for more than $1 million, according to the latest real estate transfers filed with the Stark County Auditor’s Office.
An 8,334-square-foot house on Brycewood Circle NW was sold from a limited liability company to a corporation based in Green for $1.3 million. On Victoria Court NW, a 4,268-square-foot house sold to a limited liability company for $1.1 million.
The transfers cover March 16 to March 22.
