On May 28, 2009, Governor Jon Corzine and New Jersey Department of Community Affairs Commissioner Joseph Doria, visited the site of Horizon Heights, a planned affordable housing property that straddles West New York and Union City, New Jersey. Corzine and Doria were on hand to announce the construction of 14 new affordable housing projects across the state to be built with the help of federal tax credits, including Horizon Heights. Del-Sano Contracting Corp. will serve as the property’s general construction contractor. Over the last decade, Regan Development, the project owner, and Del-Sano Contracting have developed, renovated or built jointly 300 units. Construction will be completed and occupancy expected in early fall 2010.
Specifically, Horizon Heights will be comprised of 52 one-, two- and three-bedroom units of workforce affordable rental housing, as well as housing for individuals and families with special needs. The five-story building will offer parking and retail on the first floor, additional parking on a sub-floor, and four residential stories above. All units would be affordable to families earning less than 60% of Hudson County median income. Eight of those units will be designated for individuals or families with developmental disabilities, and six units would be set aside for independent living residents with special needs. The development will utilize the latest in high performance building technologies and will be participating in the New Jersey Green Homes’ Program, as well as the New Jersey Energy Star Program.
Horizon Heights, which will be developed on the site of a former warehouse, is located in an urban, mixed-use neighborhood with housing, commercial and light industrial uses nearby. Retail, public transportation, and services are all within walking distance of the property.
The project architect is Jose Carballo, AIA, of Jose Carballo Architecture PC, based in Hackensack, NJ.
