Developed by RiseBoro Community Partnership, which will operate the facility, and designed by Paul A. Castrucci Architects, the 39,200-square-foot project will be built to Passive House Standards.

The property will comprise 58 residential units, amenities including outdoor spaces with terraced seating and a common-use garden, and community spaces, program offices, and a commercial kitchen. Passive House features include a solar rooftop, energy efficient VRF heating/cooling pump system, triple-paned windows, heat pump water heaters with heat recovery, and a thermal envelope.

Bethany Terraces is also designed for modular construction that will lower project costs, reduce construction waste, and decrease construction time by approximately six months. Renderings depict a pale cementitious façade with many setbacks for balconies, terraces, and external staircases.
