- New Haven, CT
- Located near the Yale/ New Haven Hospital and Yale Medical School, the nine-story New Rowe Residences provides 104 one and two-bedroom units of mixed-income, intergenerational housing: 39 units of affordable senior, supportive, and special needs housing and 65 units of mixed-income rental housing above a base of community, program, and retail space. The new development allowed the current residents of the adjacent, aging and functionally obsolete William T. Rowe Senior Housing-comprised largely of cramped efficiency units-to move, together, to new, more spacious homes with improved services on the same block as their existing homes. Pending additional market study, this transition will facilitate the redevelopment and repositioning of the existing Rowe tower-the building itself, or its site-to a higher and better use, as either a hotel, mixedincome housing, or medical offices targeted to the adjacent medical community.
