The Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for White River Commons, a new 100-unit apartment complex at 1325 N. Saint Louis St. in Batesville.
White River Commons offers studio and one-bedroom units with all utilities and internet included, addressing the growing need for quality housing in the area, the chamber said in a release.
The complex, originally built as a Ramada Inn in the 1980s, features an on-site laundry and welcomes both families and pets, providing residents with a convenient living experience.
The Dels Corporation, a Mountain Home-based company, owns and operates the property. The firm focuses on energy-efficient, affordable housing and specializes in modern spaces designed for affordability and minimal environmental impact.
“We’re thrilled to be here in Batesville,” said Abbie Poche, leasing director at The Dels Corporation. “We currently have 23 properties open and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Our mission is to bring affordable, high-quality housing to communities in need.”
The project has received strong support from the community, according to Poche. “It’s truly been a fantastic experience,” she said.
“We’re here to celebrate The Dels Corporation’s investment in White River Commons,” said Jamie Rayford, chief operating officer of the Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce. “We’re excited to see this reimagined space and the additional affordable housing opportunities it provides for our residents.”
Chamber Ambassadors in attendance included: Silje Antonsen (Venture Realty Group), Andrea Bruner (Network of Community Options), Jesse Cargill (UAMS), Amy Crouch-Howard (Weichert, Realtors – The Property Shoppe), Adam Curtwright (Centennial Bank), Ashley Engles (Citizens Bank), Eva Henriksen (Merchants & Planters Bank), Aaron Herndon (Citizens Bank), Julie Hinkle (Bank of Cave City), Katelyn Holt (Family Chiropractic Care), Tammy Jeffrey (First Community Bank), Michael Kelley (Peco Foods), Peter Rouiler (First Community Bank), and Sydney Wood (Main Street Batesville).
