Phase I Warehouse Redevelopment: RIHA Administrative Offices
In 1999, RIHA purchased the Voss Brothers Warehouse on the edge of the downtown Rock Island district. The warehouse totals 60,000 square feet of useable floor space. Phase I of the space began in 2002 and includes the new RIHA Administrative offices, community meeting space and retail space. The administrative offices provide a professional environment and appeal to multiple constituencies. It gives both the residents it serves and the staff it represents a sense of pride and place portraying a credible organization. The new facility represents RIHA as a financially independent organization that provides housing of choice as opposed to housing of last resort.

Phase II Warehouse Redevelopment: Mixed-income Loft Apartments
The redevelopment of mixed-income loft apartments played an important role in the revitalization of Rock Island. Converting a once blighted property in a deteriorating neighborhood into a productive landmark has had a positive impact on and represents a significant investment in the community by RIHA and its partners. The $5.5 million project added 35 loft apartments to the downtown housing mix and complimented the additional $15 million in investments along Third Avenue.

Phase I Affordable In-Fill Housing
RIHA and its partners built seven new affordable, for-sale, in-fill homes in four neighborhoods within the City of Rock Island. In-fill housing fills vacant lots and contributes to the revitalization of communities, positively impacting the people living there. The homes provide public housing-eligible residents opportunities for personal growth and the ability to become valuable, respected, contributing members of their neighborhoods and the community as a whole. Making a positive difference in neighborhoods that are turning around and becoming better, healthier places for people to live is the essence of community revitalization.

Murphy Lofts
The Murphy house is a national historic landmark. The Second Empire double home was built in the late 1870s. The one-of-a-kind home sits along one of Rock Island's east-west thoroughfares. The redevelopment of the property included four Chicago style for-sale loft condominiums.

Douglas Park Place
Located in the New Old Chicago redevelopment area, Douglas Park Place was designed to serve women coming out of intense substance abuse treatment programs. The 8-unit, rental development provides a supportive environment, workforce counseling and a myriad of other services focused on transitioning participants back into the community. A resident professional provides on-going substance abuse counseling. The facility serves between 16 and 20 households per year with an average stay of approximately six months.
