Bridger View Neighborhood, Bozeman, MT (2016-present)
Working with a diverse team of project partners, Navigate oversaw the entitlement and design processes of the Bridger View Neighborhood in Bozeman, MT. Christine continues to coordinate the construction management, sales, and long-term affordability of the homes.
Bridger View is the first neighborhood of its kind in Bozeman. Featuring 62 energy-efficient homes in a well-designed, walkable neighborhood adjacent to Story Mill Park, the neighborhood offers an indistinguishable mix of market rate and below-market homes. The below-market homes are priced to be affordable to the “missing middle” (residents who don’t make enough to afford a market rate home, but make too much to qualify for existing assistance programs), and will be managed by Headwaters Community Housing Trust.

Aware of the growing need to house the local workforce as a critical component of supporting the economy and community, the Bluebird project aims to provide a unique opportunity to expand the “missing middle” housing supply in the region.
