Construction Update: Sendero Verde

Northwest corner of the phase two tower from East 112th Street.

Superstructure has reached the half way mark 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 nearing completion 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.

Along with the nearly 700 affordable residential units, the development will also offer community space for Union Settlement Association, a school with gymnasium, an 18,000 square foot courtyard, and pre-existing community gardens relocated to the new open space.
