Investment Group Development (IGD) is proud to announce Tindall Fields, a new development project designed to expand affordable housing options for families in Macon-Bibb. With support from the Macon-Bibb County Affordable Housing Fund and the Macon-Bibb County Land Bank Authority, Tindall Fields will transform historically underutilized property into a walkable, service-connected neighborhood that supports long-term stability for residents.
Tindall Fields will feature one single-family home renovation and 10 new, single-family modern, energy-efficient homes conveniently connected to schools, transit, employment, and healthcare. The development advances regional housing goals by increasing the supply of affordable homes and providing pathways to homeownership.
“Tindall Fields is about access and opportunity,” said Natalie Bouyett, Director of the Macon-Bibb County Affordable Housing Fund. “By pairing quality homes with supportive partnerships, we’re helping families put down roots and thrive right here in Macon-Bibb.”
“From day one, our focus has been simple: deliver affordability without compromise,” said Allen Wells, with Investment Group Development. “Together with the Affordable Housing Fund and the Land Bank Authority, we’re unlocking land for the community’s highest and best use and aligning resources to keep monthly housing costs within reach.”
“Reactivating strategic parcels to meet today’s needs is core to the Land Bank’s mission,” added Land Bank Authority Executive Director, Everett Verner. “Tindall Fields shows what’s possible when public and private partners move in the same direction.”
“Tindall Fields represents a meaningful step forward in ensuring that every family in Macon-Bibb has access to safe, affordable, and modern housing,” said Mayor Lester Miller. “By transforming underutilized land into a vibrant, connected neighborhood, we are not only creating homes but also fostering stability, opportunity, and long-term investment in our community”
The properties are being provided for the project by the Land Bank Authority which purchases property that can be viable for redevelopment. The Affordable Housing fund is providing a $500k renewable line of credit from the fund created by Macon-Bibb at the direction of Mayor Lester Miller.
Additionally, the Affordable Housing Fund has committed $2 million dollars to leverage an additional $16 million to create affordable housing in the Historic Pleasant Hill Neighborhood. It also is using $325,000 to provide a loan for Habitat for Humanity to leverage $490,000 in funds for three single-family homes.
