The property will create 62 new apartment units in two newly constructed buildings divided by an alley in between as well as a 9,000 square foot two-story Youth Source and Family Center in one of the buildings along with a half-court basketball court with controlled community entry. In addition, the residential portions of the property will feature common courtyards, community spaces, laundry rooms, offices, a covered ‘patio’ area for small children, and a computer room. Outdoor areas will feature edible landscaping, communal gardens and fruit trees, enhanced by nutrition education and lifeskills classes for residents. The Youth Source and Family Center will be operated by Community Build.
