Hunt Military Communities Renovates 211 Homes at Kirtland Air Force Base, Delivering Modern Living Spaces for Military Families

Ribbon-cutting ceremony marks major progress on whole-home renovation project, bringing comprehensive interior and exterior upgrades to the Pershing Park community

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hunt Military Communities (HMC) recently celebrated a major milestone in the Pershing Park Whole Home Renovation Project at Kirtland Air Force Base with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the ongoing transformation of 211 homes for the military families stationed at the installation.

The project reflects HMC’s sustained commitment to reinvesting across its housing portfolio — an effort that has totaled more than half a billion dollars in capital improvement projects since 2024, including more than $190M in 2025. Construction at Pershing Park began in October 2024, with full completion expected in 2026, bringing comprehensive interior and exterior upgrades designed to modernize aging homes and meaningfully improve daily life for residents.

“Military families give so much in service to this country, and the quality of their homes should reflect that commitment. What’s happening at Pershing Park is part of a much larger, sustained effort to raise the standard across our entire portfolio — not just maintaining homes, but genuinely modernizing them. Our military families deserve that, and we’re proud to be delivering it through sustained investment.”   — Brian Stann, President and CEO, Hunt Military Communities

The ribbon cutting brought together HMC leadership, Kirtland installation representatives, and community stakeholders to celebrate the project’s progress and recognize the partnership that continues to drive improvements across the installation.

“Completing the eighteen-month-long, $25 million Pershing Park renovation demonstrates Hunt Military Communities’ commitment to supporting Team Kirtland and their families. By investing in modern, high‑quality homes, Hunt has helped strengthen the quality of life, readiness, and our community. This project reflects the continued partnership we share with Hunt and Kirtland Family Housing to ensure every Airman has a safe, comfortable place to call home and a neighborhood where their families can thrive.”   — Col. Kelly A. Padden, 377^th Mission Support Group Commander, United States Air Force

Kirtland’s Pershing Park renovation is part of HMC’s broader reinvestment effort across its housing portfolio. The community also earned the 2025 SatisFacts Resident Satisfaction Award, which reflects HMC’s commitment to both capital investment and day-to-day service excellence. Hunt Military Communities continues to work closely with installation leadership and community partners to deliver housing that supports military family quality of life and mission readiness.
