Hazelwood Estates
Document Sub-title: An Affordable Housing Project for Seniors Using ICF Construction
Document Summary: Even in the moderate climate of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Hazelwood Estates stands as a leading example of the benefits of concrete construction. Under the direction of Dennis Kilfoil, the Marion County Housing Authority built a 32-unit, affordable housing project for seniors in the agricultural community of Woodburn, Ore. The multi-unit residential property features exteriors walls constructed of insulating concrete forms (ICFs) finished with fiber-cement siding. Kilfoil says the fire-resistant concrete walls helped provide a significant and surprising insurance savings and the residents love the peaceful noise reduction courtesy of the thick, concrete walls. Energy savings, thanks to the thermal mass of concrete, are even more critical for an affordable housing project during a period of rising fuel costs. While MCHA plans to maintain ownership for several decades, the low maintenance advantages of the ICF walls and fiber-cement siding add yet another benefit to this handsome community.
