Liberty Avenue Apartments, located in a mixed residential and commercial area of East New York, is a joint-venture development with Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation, Inc., a group with longstanding ties to the surrounding community. The site was assembled with a mixture of private and City-owned land. Apartments provide affordable rental housing for working families at 30% and 60% of area median income, and seven units have been set aside for independent living for adults with developmental disabilities, with services provided both on and off-site. The building is designed to achieve Energy Star certification and incorporates many of the high-performance and energy-efficient details used in prior Dunn Development projects.
