MTC received the 2025 Community Impact Excellence Award for Baytown Apartments, recognized for its contribution to affordable housing for individuals with disabilities. This prestigious award, presented by CREW Tampa Bay, highlights the lasting impact of Baytown Apartments in opening doors to safe, inclusive, and affordable housing options.

MTC received the 2025 Community Impact Excellence Award for Baytown Apartments, recognized for its contribution to affordable housing for individuals with disabilities. This prestigious award, presented by CREW Tampa Bay, highlights the lasting impact of Baytown Apartments in opening doors to safe, inclusive, and affordable housing options. Karenne Levy, MTC’s President and CEO, emphasized the importance of such developments, noting that with 1 in 36 births now recognized as on the autism spectrum, projects like Baytown are essential in ensuring people with disabilities have access to housing that is both affordable and supportive. Accessibility and inclusive design were key focuses in the development of Baytown Apartments. The community includes six ADA-convertible units, seven ADA-compatible units, and special accommodations for hearing-impaired residents. Thoughtful shared spaces—such as a fitness room, meeting areas, and a welcoming entryway—were incorporated to foster connection and independence. Baytown Apartments is ideally located in Hillsborough County with access to transportation, shopping, and essential services, making it a sustainable and inclusive housing solution for the community. This transformative project not only meets a critical need for affordable housing in the Tampa region but also sets a new standard for inclusive living. CREW Tampa Bay, dedicated to advancing women in the commercial real estate industry, plays a vital role in promoting and empowering women through professional relationships and leadership opportunities, making this recognition even more meaningful.
