Project Features

Site Improvements

All apartments received comprehensive improvements including new cabinets, sinks, backsplash tiles, interior doors and hardware, flooring, updated bathrooms with medicine cabinets, toilets, faucet aerators, and shower heads, as well as Energy Star-rated appliances, LED lighting, and high-efficiency heating systems with a new energy management system.

Updates to residential amenities included a communal outdoor patio, library, community room with kitchen area, laundry room, mail room, and ample parking in the adjacent multilevel garage. Common area space upgrades included new flooring, porcelain tile for the lobby, new finishes in the library and community room, updated LED lighting, new mailboxes, security cameras, elevator modernization, balcony and façade repairs, a new roof, and a wheelchair-accessible entryway.

The site also received various green building requirements that helped to improve efficiency, including installation of new energy efficient windows and balcony doors.

Project Highlights

Kingsley House was originally constructed in 1968 under the New York State Mitchell-Lama Program, which continues to provide housing to middle-income residents across the state.

The redevelopment ensured continuing affordability restrictions for 40 years.

All apartments are affordable to senior (aged 62+) households earning at or below 50 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI).

The project was also awarded 53 Project Based Vouchers from New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), allowing many rent-burdened residents to apply for and receive rental assistance.
