Building Stronger Communities Together: Apex Engineering + Habitat for Humanity

At Apex Engineering, we believe that strong communities are built on more than infrastructure — they’re built on compassion, opportunity, and collaboration. That’s why we’re proud to stand alongside Tacoma/Pierce County Habitat for Humanity, an organization whose mission to partner with families in need aligns deeply with our own values.

Together, we’ve had the privilege of helping turn the dream of homeownership into a reality for dozens of local families. From city neighborhoods to quiet residential areas, every project reflects a shared commitment to creating safe, affordable housing where families can thrive.

Recent Highlights in Our Partnership

Over the past few years, our work with Habitat for Humanity has spanned several communities, each with its own story and spirit:

  • Madison Meadow (Tacoma): A cozy development of four duplexes — eight homes in total — nestled between South 67th and 69th on Madison.
  • Proctor Place and Proctor Triplex (Tacoma): Just steps from Madison Meadow, these projects will bring 19 new residences to the area, expanding opportunities for families near the heart of the city.
  • Canterwood (Gig Harbor): Built near St. Anthony Hospital, this three-home community was completed in the summer and fall of 2022, offering peaceful housing in a rapidly growing area.
  • American Lake Townhomes (Tillicum): A unique site-specific rezone is paving the way for 12 new townhomes, helping expand access to multi-family housing in a changing neighborhood.
  • Future Growth: Two additional projects, currently in the preliminary entitlement phase, will add 28 new lots to Tacoma — further proof that this partnership is just getting started.

A Look Back: Foundations We’re Proud Of

Our journey with Habitat for Humanity spans many memorable projects, including:

  • Tyler Court (Midland): An 11-unit condominium community that brings thoughtful design to unincorporated Pierce County.
  • The Woods at Golden Given: A beautiful 30-home cottage-style neighborhood surrounded by shared open spaces on 7.23 acres.
  • Ainsworth, Larrabee Terrace, and Salishan: Collectively adding over 40 homes to South and East Tacoma, these developments reflect a long-standing dedication to neighborhood revitalization.

We are honored to play a small role in something much bigger than ourselves — the creation of homes, hope, and lasting change. As we look ahead, we remain inspired by the families who bring these communities to life and the power of partnerships that make it all possible.

Together, we’re not just building houses. We’re building futures.
