Superstructure has topped out and brick installation is nearing completion at the phase two tower at affordable housing development Sendero Verde in East Harlem by developers Jonathan Rose Companies, L+M Development Partners, and Acacia Network. Designed by Handel Architects, the 34-story phase two tower sits at the northwest corner of the full block development. The tower is adjacent to the 10 and 15-story phase one buildings that were recently completed at the eastern half of the block. When complete, the entire Sendero Verde complex will offer 695 affordable rental units and become the largest fully affordable Passive House development in the world.
