Torti Gallas + Parters (TG+P), as lead architect of a design-build team, joined CBG and Hunt Military Communities to celebrate the financial closing of Homeport Hampton Roads Phase II—a partnership between the US Navy, Hunt, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the City of Newport News. Developed through a Public Private Partnership, Homeport Hampton Roads Phase II provides much needed high-quality housing for unaccompanied enlisted US Navy sailors as part of the Navy’s “No Sailor Lives Afloat” initiative.
Construction of the 8,098-bed development will span five years and include 2,743 new homes and renovations to 2,124 existing units across more than 30 structures. The project includes extensive renovations, along with work on additional amenity and mechanical structures at Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek, NSA Hampton Roads, and Naval Air Station Oceana.
Based on feedback gathered directly from enlisted sailors during focus groups, resident amenities will emphasize health, wellness, and community. Ground-floor commercial space will accommodate retail and Navy services.
New construction includes six eight-story, mid-rise buildings and a 1M square foot parking garage at Naval Station Norfolk, plus a 17-story high-rise tower in downtown Newport News.
