The 100-foot-tall development will be designed to Passive House Standards, with fully electric systems and a 1,800-square-foot solar array on the rooftop. Components include 54,496 square feet for 95 AIRS low-income housing units for seniors, and one superintendent unit, as YIMBY previously reported. All units in 105 West Tremont Avenue will meet adaptable standards with accessibility features handrails in corridors, bright lighting, and color-defined wayfinding. There will also be double the required number of fully accessible and designed hearing and vision-impaired units.
Additional amenities include two elevators, laundry, bicycle storage, resident exam/consultation rooms, a resident services office, two recreation/community rooms, two exterior recreation spaces, a monitored package room, and an entry vestibule with seating and 24-hour reception.

The exterior of 105 West Tremont Avenue is inspired by the Art Deco buildings of Grand Concourse, with a façade comprised of sustainable porcelain and metal panels with space for a mural on the east façade.
The estimated completion date is late 2025.

How do you apply for an apartment there
why two architectures instead of one really refined one – or a blending of the two in a more cohesive way?
Because bad trend. Because low talent.
Another excellent passive built project. I don’t mind it looks like two buildings. In the context of its huge, dull surroundings, it’s a nice change.
Hi Dears Management: I like this building , I need 3 bedrooms apartment .
