NEW YORK: The five hundred and fiftieth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
The $15 million project broke ground in August on 1.39 acres of the campus of the former St. John Neumann High School. (The building was closed in June 2004 after the school merged with St. Maria Goretti High School.)
When it opens a year from now, Wagner said, the three-story, L-shaped structure – designed by Blackney Hayes Architects, with Domus as general contractor – will be home to 52 one-bedroom apartments for seniors age 62 and older.
The new facility will have a wellness center operated by Catholic Health Care Services and open to residents as well as age- and income-qualified neighborhood residents.
Based on inclusion of the wellness center, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency awarded the project tax credits for “Innovation in Design.”
