BENTONVILLE, Ark. — The Walton Family Foundation of Bentonville announced two new projects for its Design Excellence Program, an organization that funds and promotes design in the development of public buildings and spaces in Benton and Washington counties.
The first project will build high-quality and affordable housing for the downtown Bentonville workforce, the nonprofit said in a news release. The units will fill a gap in locally available “missing middle” housing, a term the foundation defines as the range of housing types that fit between single-family detached homes and mid-to-high-rise apartment buildings.
The project will test a replicable model for more well-designed and affordable housing on infill lots near workplaces, schools and cultural amenities. The project will be designed through Sanders Pace Architecture.
