NEW YORK: The three hundred and eighty-first entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
Sustainable and . . . senior? Construction is underway on Pittsburgh’s first passive house senior development, Hillcrest Senior Residences.
Located at 2920 Brownsville Road in Carrick, the new housing for seniors 62-plus will feature triple-paned windows and extra-thick insulation to reduce heating and cooling costs.
Combining energy efficiency and affordability “underlines Pittsburgh’s commitment not only to our seniors and to affordable housing, but our goal to provide the very best standards of housing to all,” says Mayor William Peduto.
Plans for Hillcrest Senior Residences include a garden area, computer/library room, fitness room, outdoor terrace space, private room for health services, and a laundry room.
