New York City
Designed for Jonathan Rose Associates, L+M Development Partners, and Acacia Network, Sendero Verde is a mixed-use, multi-building project awarded through New York’s SustaiNYC program, which seeks to create affordable housing for New Yorkers without compromising design quality. Sendero Verde will contain 698 designated affordable units as well as extensive community space, retail space, and outdoor
83
gardens. Sendero Verde will be passive-house certified, making it the largest fully affordable passive-house building in the world when it is completed. Sendero Verde’s design aims to provide a community of opportunity to East Harlem residents, with multiple support services under one roof that address the cycle of poverty that disrupts so many people’s lives.
