Nearly five years after the first phase of construction at Wolf River Bluffs was supposed to begin, United Housing Inc. executive director Tim Bolding is confident the project will finally break ground in December.

Plans call for four, 1,500-square-foot single-family homes, with lots pre-sold to builders, to be built on the site that lies just north of where North McLean Boulevard dead-ends at James Road.

“We’re starting in December so we can get (the homes) framed and start working to have them move-in ready by spring,” Bolding says.

We've got solar homes in Memphis....soon!

Status:
We've taken bids for builders to start Wolf River Bluffs. NBC Contractors won it. So, it's really happenin! SRVS bought our first 4 homes. Stay tuned for more updates and photos.

After buying the land 11 years ago, we are finally at the cusp of building a eco-home community in Memphis! 

It hasn't been easy bringing eco-homes Frayser, an area many Memphians call an declining area. Sustaining a non-profit organization is tough. Now, add real-estate to that. As a nonprofit organization, we felt it was our duty to step in and bring both innovation and quality to everyone especially prospective homebuyers struggling to accomplish homeownership. But, why limit it? Wolf River Bluffs is for Frayser. Wolf River Bluffs is for Memphis. Wolf River Bluffs is for West Tennessee. Wolf River Bluffs is for you. Heck, Wolf River Bluffs is for us too. Let's re-build our community with one eco-home at a time. We are still thinking of ideas that really bring a sense of community to the neighborhood.

So, let's hear it! What amenities would you like to see in the neighborhood?

About NBC Contractors: NBC Contractors has been in business for over 20 years. In 2005, the company assisted in building the first eco-homes in Memphis.
