Chestnut Commons

Chestnut Commons is slated for completion in 2020 and comprises affordable apartments for formerly homeless, extremely low-, very low-, and low-income households. The mixed-use development will also create a number of opportunities through a rich multi-layered set of community-oriented offerings, such as programming by ARTS East New York, CUNY Kingsborough Community College, and more. The project is designed to achieve a low carbon footprint by incorporating passive house elements that will reduce operating costs and benefit all residents. Chestnut Commons will include a mix of studios: one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.
