Stonewall House Senior Residences

Stonewall House, the first affordable LGBTQ-friendly senior housing complex in New York City, is now open in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. AKRF provided civil engineering, performed Phase I due diligence services, and led NEPA, SEQRA, and CEQR environmental reviews for disposition and redevelopment of the New York City Housing Authority property. The project’s NEPA review required tribal consultation; noise attenuation and site remediation services; and consultation with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The 17-story, 124,000-square-foot building contains 145 units of affordable housing for seniors and a 6,800-square-foot SAGE Center at street level.
