MANHATTAN
Pennrose LLC, RiseBoro Community Partnership, and Habitat for Humanity New York City and Westchester County have been designated to build Haven Green, a 123-unit affordable rental complex for senior citizens in Little Italy, Manhattan. Haven Green will be LGBTQ-friendly and include thirty-seven apartments serving formerly homeless seniors.
The Haven Green development will include nearly 16,000 square feet of publicly accessible and open space in a new garden designed and programmed through a community engagement process. The development will be built to Passive House standards to keep residents’ utility bills low and our city greener and healthier. The building and the public open space are designed to manage and reuse stormwater through the use of permeable surfaces covering the majority of the open space and a rooftop rainwater harvesting system.
Haven Green will be affordable to extremely low-, very low-, and low-income seniors with thirty-seven apartments for seniors who have been homeless.
