PROJECT INFO:

The new construction development will consist of 28 one bedroom and 28 two bedroom apartments. This community will serve seniors with incomes up to 60% of the Average Median Income (AMI). The design allows for an abundance of common space; including a wellness center and activity room. The building’s design includes the main lobby, community room, beauty salon and barber, and administrative office. The building will also offer storage lockers and a trash/recycling room. All these amenities will help enrich the lives of seniors, while offering them an affordable housing option.
