Central Ogden has welcomed a new affordable housing complex, 25th & Quincy, which officially opened its doors earlier this month.
Located at 872 25th Street, the project is developed by J. Fisher Companies and encompasses five floors with a total of 176 units.
The units include both one- and two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 611 to 810 square feet for one bedrooms and 918 to 1,040 square feet for two bedrooms.
The complex occupies just over two acres and features two courtyards along with various amenities for residents.
Units at 25th & Quincy are aimed at individuals and families earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
For Ogden, this means eligibility thresholds of $50,640 per year for a single person and $72,300 for a family of four.
Jake Wood, the managing director over affordable housing for J. Fisher, expressed his enthusiasm for the project during a ribbon-cutting event held on September 10.
He indicated that 25th & Quincy is the first of four projects being developed by J. Fisher in the Ogden area.
Among these is the upcoming WonderBlock project, located just a few blocks away, which plans to include over 350 housing units, a grocery store, office spaces, and retail units.
During his address, Wood highlighted how the projects are interrelated, contributing to a cohesive ecosystem of housing, community building, and economic development.
He attributed the successful collaboration to the supportive partnership between J. Fisher Companies and Ogden City.
In an effort to seamlessly integrate into the neighborhood, Wood noted the brick-heavy exterior design of 25th & Quincy.
He emphasized the complex’s advantageous location along the free OGX bus rapid transit line and its proximity to Ogden’s downtown core—just about a mile away.
Currently, the complex boasts a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, with varied options in the two-bedroom category to accommodate families.
With attention on creating a vibrant community, Wood mentioned the extensive amenities that 25th & Quincy provides, aiming to make it function like any other market-rate project.
25th & Quincy is the initial phase of what J. Fisher refers to as the Capital Square redevelopment project.
This future development is planned for a site that once housed a Rite Aid, which has since been demolished.
Spanning around 4.7 acres, the site is owned by Ogden City’s Redevelopment Agency (RDA).
While specific details for Capital Square are still being finalized, Wood indicated ongoing discussions with the city to determine the neighborhood’s most pressing needs.
Although Wood stated that direct single-family homes are unlikely to be included in the new development, he did not eliminate the possibility of designs reminiscent of the existing architectural styles in the area.
He mentioned concepts such as two- and three-story townhomes, and the potential for for-sale housing options—possibly stacked condos or row homes.
Moreover, they are envisioning mixed-use spaces, including retail that caters to neighborhood needs, with plans for neighborhood-scale grocery options.
As of September 10, 25th & Quincy reported an occupancy rate of 8%, with 13% of the units already leased.
According to Rosa Bikic, the property’s director, there has been significant interest from the community, with many potential residents excited to tour the building.
Bikic noted that some individuals left the tours emotionally touched, expressing joy that they qualified for housing in the new complex.
The positive reception indicates that 25th & Quincy could become a vital resource for affordable housing in Central Ogden, promising new beginnings for its future residents.
