Park Lane Senior Apartments, a 14-story affordable senior housing project, has opened for occupancy at 1940 Turnbull Avenue in Soundview, The Bronx. Developed by Asland Capital Partners and Pembroke Development, the 115,000-square-foot structure yields 154 units in studio to one-bedroom layouts, all designated as 100 percent affordable senior housing. Thirty percent of the apartments are reserved for formerly homeless seniors, and on-site social services will be provided by local not-for-profit, Self Help. The property is located between Pugsley Avenue and White Plains Road.

Amenities at Park Lane Senior Apartments include indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a shared laundry room, bicycle storage, and two community rooms programmed by Selfhelp. Residents will only be responsible for 30 percent of their income toward rent.
The property features a number of sustainable elements, including low-flow water fixtures, a high-performance building envelope, and a green roof. The development team is seeking a LEED Gold Version 4 for Homes-Multifamily Midrise certification.

Unfortunate brick but the rest of it seems okay.
In this rare case, I like the speckled brickwork. It totally does not look like a skin disease.
I like it too, especially when the building is this small, and not visually overdone like on a massive tower
Sorry guys… gotta disagree. Way too much contrast between the colors to be appealing IMO. Would look much better if color variation was more subtle.
What’s the timeline on the larger phase 2?
