Located in Mabton, Washington, this 8.16-acre site presents a rare opportunity to deliver much-needed affordable and workforce housing in the heart of the Columbia Valley. The property is already zoned R-2 for high-density residential and has city-approved entitlements for a 178-unit development, significantly de-risking the front end of the project. With utilities to the site and recent infrastructure improvements underway, the groundwork has been laid for immediate development.

The city of Mabton, situated in Yakima County, is part of a region experiencing sustained population growth driven by agricultural employment and increasing demand for housing. State and federal programs are directly targeting towns like Mabton with generous incentives, including LIHTC with a 30% Basis Boost, USDA Farmworker Housing loans, and property tax exemptions, creating a uniquely capital-efficient opportunity for developers who specialize in affordable housing delivery.

In addition to its entitlements and infrastructure advantages, the Mabton Development Site benefits from exceptional optionality. Whether building rental townhomes, farmworker housing, or an LIHTC-backed affordable apartment project, the site supports a variety of uses and exit strategies. With Yakima County and Washington State aligning policy and capital to address rural housing needs, this development site sits squarely in the path of both funding and growth.
