Current Projects
Construction started in the summer of 2009 on this project, which includes four row houses at three separate sites in the historic community of Bedford-Stuyvesant. Each are four stories, for a total of 16 units that will be a mix of two- and three-bedroom condominiums. Each building features landscaped backyards. Two of the buildings are adjacent at 512 and 514 Lafayette Ave. and single buildings are at 544 Lafayette Ave. and 118 Hart St. These will be green buildings, enabling homeowners to save an estimated 30%or more on their utility bills. They will be built to ENERGY STAR standards, with ENERGY STAR appliances and lighting fixtures, high-efficiency boilers, energy-efficient windows and water-saving toilets, faucets and showerheads. Construction materials are non-toxic and sustainable. Read an overview of the project. Habitat-NYC currently is working on an innovative new partnership construction model in the South Bronx. This project marks the first of its kind, both locally and nationally, with a domestic Habitat affiliate building affordable multifamily homes in collaboration with a for-profit affordable housing developer. This project is a seven-story, 60,165 square-foot multifamily building, with a total of 50 co-operative units. Twelve of these units are allocated for Habitat-NYC families, and includes a mix of studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom co-ops. Habitat-NYC family partners and volunteers will work on the interior of these homes. The project includes a ground-floor community facility that will be leased to a non-profit organization. Residents will have access to a seventh floor community room, rooftop recreation space and onsite parking. This green building is enrolled in the NYSERDA Multifamily Performance Program (Energy Star) and registered in the LEED-H multifamily mid-rise program. It will include ENERGY STAR appliances, windows & lighting fixtures and high-efficiency condensing boilers. Combined heat and power cogeneration will generate electricity and make hot water Construction materials are non-toxic and sustainable. Read an overview of the project |
