The project’s programmatic core mission bridges an underserved Senior Affordable Housing demographic with complex Form Based Zoning Code design initiatives to realize a sensitive mixed use infill development on a vacant brownfield site.

At the heart of the planning, design, and construction strategy for 136 Croton Avenue is a focus on affordable, durable, and efficient design solutions to reduce energy consumption and environmental footprint, improve resident health, comfort, and well-being, add critical resources to benefit the surrounding community, and provide facilities that enhance public health and wellness.

Energy reduction will be achieved through the utilization of a high-performance thermal envelope with continuous insulation and high-performance, right-sized, smart mechanical systems. Design parameters will achieve Passive House certification.
