Georgetown’s Planning Department identified 14 multifamily housing projects in early 2017 that were either under development or in early planning stages within city limits. The projects together would add more than 2,400 new multifamily units to the city, including a mix of apartments, condominiums and townhomes. New multifamily development also includes affordable housing projects in the Georgetown area.
