For-Profit Affordable Housing Opens Doors Steps from Mass Transit And Parks
Just in time for the New Year, residents have moved into 36 high-quality affordable apartments in Bronx, New York, in The Allerton, a for-profit development featuring street-level retail, community spaces and a sustainable, healthy design by a powerhouse team of experts from RKTB Architects.
Located just steps from the subway and two blocks from Bronx Park, The Allerton provides much-needed studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units for qualifying New Yorkers and their families. Notably, the project surmounts a number of challenges to successful, profitable development – including a small, tight site practically adjacent to an elevated subway platform, among other obstacles – for developer-builder Volmar Construction.
