Developers raise the bar with game-changing new standard for public housing: 'The benefits to the tenants are great'
Briefly

Sendero Verde is the largest certified passive-house building in the United States, using half the energy of traditional structures while addressing affordable housing needs.
Passive building principles ensure that construction efficiently uses airflow, insulation, and sunlight, greatly benefiting tenants and helping reduce climate impact.
Sendero is particularly noteworthy for its mixed-income approach, housing low-income and formerly homeless individuals, which is critical as NYC confronts a growing homelessness crisis.
The development’s innovative design stands resilient against extreme weather conditions, enhancing the sustainability of urban living amid climate change.
