The Eastern Parkway project attempts a novel combination of 100% deeply affordable housing with the most forward-thinking sustainability and decarbonization strategy possible. In partnership with The Doe Fund, we hope this project will evolve the paradigm for the nexus of housing affordability, environmental justice, community benefits and design.

With an 80-foot wide freight train line bisecting the middle of the site, Eastern Parkway presents a unique opportunity to utilize a creative land use approach to transform an underutilized parking lot into a large-scale project that addresses a number of goals expressed by the local community.

Altera Engineering is working with the design and construction teams and The Doe Fund to transform a manufacturing-zoned site presently used to park buses into a highly sustainable, decarbonized 20-story building consisting of 100% affordable housing at the deepest levels of Area Median Income.
