Project: 2388 Creston Avenue



Quote:
The Creston Avenue Residences holds 66 apartments, including 21 studios, 12 one-bedrooms, 32 two-bedrooms and a two-bedroom for the super, spread over 62,750 square feet and 10 stories. It will be a mix of affordable and supportive housing, targeted towards “high-need Medicaid clients, low-income families and disabled veterans.”

The building was developed by Volunteers of America-Greater NY and the Housing Collaborative, and designed by MAP Architects. It’s also a rare example of a tenement neighborhood that’s zoned for significantly more density than the existing context – with a floor area ratio of nearly six, 2388 Creston is denser than the surrounding five- and six-story new law tenements, with FARs of three and four.
