Albuquerque Santa Fe, NM, October 5, 2026 —
Albuquerque city officials and representatives from Palindrome Development have broken ground on La Curva Apartments, a new housing development located in the West Old Town area. The project aims to address a critical gap in the local housing market by providing residences for individuals and families categorized as the ‘missing middle.’
This demographic typically earns between $54,000 and $81,000 annually. According to developers, these households often face challenges in qualifying for traditional housing subsidies or affording the costs associated with homeownership. La Curva Apartments is designed to offer a housing solution for this segment of the population.
The first phase of the La Curva Apartments complex is planned to deliver 70 residential units. The projected completion date for this initial phase is 2027. Further details regarding the total number of units planned for the development or a specific timeline beyond the first phase were not immediately available.
