Romero Rose LLC, in partnership with Yes Housing Inc., recently broke ground on Casitas de Colores, a $16.2 million multifamily affordable project in downtown Albuquerque.

The 71-unit development targets people with incomes that range from 30 percent to 60 percent of Area Median Income. Featuring mostly two- and three-bedroom units, the affordable project will also include four units that will be offered to homeless families, reported the Albuquerque Business First. Additional plans include on-site laundry facilities and a community building.
