OUR PLACES
HDDC believes in the historic preservation of places and spaces with the primary intent to create convening spaces that speak to the wants and desires of the community. We preserve facades and structures of historically relevant buildings, but repurpose their use to address non-displacement, access and other shared goals that we advocate and that benefit our stakeholders.
HDDC has always employed innovative approaches to revitalization. In the late 1990’s, we pioneered the “block-by-block” development strategy by building new homes on vacant lots on the same streets where we rehabilitated existing dilapidated structures. This strategy became the catalyst for the revitalization of the entire neighborhood. HDDC continues to build on its successes and expand its reach to work throughout the entire Old Fourth Ward neighborhood.
