Applegate Landing Veterans Housing

A passion project of Gerding’s own Lebanon resident, James Lutz, the Applegate Landing Veterans Housing was designed to meet a growing need for deserving service members in the community. The 48-unit apartment complex consisted of five, 3-story buildings, ranging from studio units to three bedrooms. Twelve units were specifically designated for veterans and the remaining 36 were veteran preference, with the 16 ground floor units ADA accessible. Units included hookups for washers and dryers, small outside storage area and balcony. The property offered a clubhouse area which houses an exercise room, recreation room with pool tables and other amenities, laundry area, as well as dog washing area. Electrical vehicle charging stations, and solar power were installed for energy efficiency. The facility included an activity center to be used for services to its residents, such as health and dental screening, mental health care, drug and alcohol support meetings, financial wellness classes, education advancement opportunities, and workshops on job skills and home ownership.
