A new subdivision in Eugene's Churchill neighborhood has begun its fourth phase of construction and secured funding for its fifth phase.

Max Benjamin Partners said it secured a $33.9 million loan to continue constructing the Timberline Hills subdivision of single family homes in the southwest corner of Eugene.

The first 81 homes are expected to go up for sale sometime between October 2024 and January 2025.

They will be priced between $800,000 and $1.2 million. According Realtor.com data, the median listing price in Lane County in August was $525,000, meaning half the homes sold below $525,000 and half sold above that.

Phase five will extend the east end of Bentley Avenue across to Timberline Drive and add 30 houses along the way. And it will add roads and 67 houses to fill out the southeast portion of Timberline Drive.
