Fruit Belt
Housing Development
The design team
developed early conceptual plans for senior, family and young
starter homes, utilizing narrow lots in the community. Presentations
were made to numerous community groups
seeking their comments regarding specific needs, amenities,
style and buyer
options. This was an evolving process that resulted
in designs that meet the specific needs of the community,
complementing the scale
and character of the existing neighborhood. Future designs
will incorporate 50 ft. lots which will open up new and exciting
design options.
The design and development of multi-family prototype
units was undertaken. An assessment
of the suitability of these proposed units was conducted
and a series of prototypes for 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom townhouses
was developed. The new housing is complimentary to the existing
urban neighborhood offering amenities to the residents including
attractive, low-maintenance materials such as brick siding,
front porches, gable end facades, ample unit storage and
on-site parking. The potential to fund construction with
DHCR grants through strict adherence to DHCR design guidelines
makes these
townhomes attractive, affordable and adaptable to the existing
historic Fruit Belt neighborhood.
