Vital Brookdale brings 160 affordable housing units and 25,000 sf of health-focused community space in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. Alongside deeply affordable apartments, Vital Brookdale provides resources that promote health and wellness, job training, outdoor green space, and opportunities for recreation, that will support residents and the larger Brownsville community. Tenants will have access to a second-floor terrace, and front and rear-courtyards, which will include landscaping, a dog run, play area as well as passive recreation and seating areas. Additional amenities will include complimentary building-wide wireless-internet access, a multi-purpose community room, game room, library/resident co-working space, fitness room, laundry room, cold-storage locker and package rooms, and a bike storage room. The Passive House-designed development will have a 100kW roof-mounted solar photovoltaic system, high-performance mechanical systems, insulation and windows, LED lighting, low-flow water fixtures, and several other energy-efficient measures to ensure the comfort and affordability for residents as well as sustainability of the building. We were fortunate to be able to work with Dattner Architects to provide quartz countertops, ceramic wall tiles, and setting materials.
