Affordable housing is a critical part of strengthening communities and building resilience for generations to come. Goldman Sachs provided financing for Phase 1 of the development project consisting of 208 affordable housing units plus community facility space in East Harlem, New York. Of the 208 affordable units in Phase 1, 25% will be set aside for formerly homeless households, 17% will be affordable to households earning up to 30% of area median income (AMI), 25% up to 50% of AMI, and the remaining 33% up to 60% of AMI. Phase 1 is part of the broader Sendero Verde project, a 348- unit mixed-use development that is being built in response to a public request for proposals issued by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to develop a formerly vacant lot. Sendero Verde is being built with the goal of achieving “Passive House” energy efficiency standards. Upon completion, Sendero Verde is expected to be the largest fully affordable Passive House development in the world. In addition to the affordable units, the overall project includes community facility space that will be leased to: • Harlem Children’s Zone: a local nonprofit organization focused on breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty through its charter school and preschool programs; and • East Harlem Council for Community Improvement: a local nonprofit organization focused on community advocacy and providing supportive services.
