Housing

AKRF is committed to the development and preservation of affordable, senior, and supportive housing.

We have contributed to over 200 housing-related projects currently in planning, design, construction, or occupancy throughout our geographic footprint.

Our firm works on projects of all scopes and sizes, from single-use buildings like Tres Puentes, Willows at Saddlebrook, and Stonewall House to large-scale, mixed-use developments with housing components like Essex Crossing and La Central.

AKRF has also worked on multiple Permanent Affordability Commitment Together projects for the New York City Housing Authority and its private partners encompassing over 17,000 apartments in 360 buildings.
