New 128-Home Development Gets The Green Light In Redmond Ore.

Construction is scheduled to start by the end of the year.

According to the Bend Bulletin, a new development of 128 new houses has been approved by the Redmond City Council. Redmond is about 17 miles north of Bend. Hayden Homes, based in Redmond will be doing the building with plans to break ground in November or December. Central Oregon has been an area defined by strong growth and a resulting housing shortage. “There is certainly a supply issue right now,” said Chris Davis, of Haydn Homes. Fortunately ... as an essential activity in the state, we’re still able to build home and still keep that part of the economy moving.”

However, once the homes are built, the city will annex that land, said Scott Woodford, senior planner with the city of Redmond.

At its regular meeting Tuesday night, held remotely, the Redmond City Council unanimously approved land use applications for the project, and re-zoned a portion south of NW Upas Avenue so denser housing could be built.

In total, Cinder Butte Village will have about 75 detached, single-family homes and 53 cottage units, which are smaller, higher-density homes that may or may not be detached, Davis said.
