Construction has begun on an all-affordable residential project in Haverstraw, Rockland County, according to New York YIMBY. The six-story building at 30 West Street is being developed by Westhab and designed by Aufgang Architects. The $53 million development will deliver 81 rental apartments spanning studio through three-bedroom configurations across approximately 79,000 square feet. Twenty of those units are designated as supportive housing for formerly homeless residents. Income eligibility will range from 30 to 60 percent of area median income (AMI). The project will also provide parking for roughly 142 vehicles, with 82 spaces reserved for the broader community. The site is bounded by West Street, Fairmount Avenue, and Maple Avenue.
ParkPoint Perspective
This project illustrates the continued reliance on public subsidy structures to make affordable residential development pencil in supply-constrained Hudson Valley submarkets. At $53 million for 81 units, per-unit cost approaches figures that challenge purely private execution — a signal that replacement cost thresholds in these markets are rising. For investors tracking workforce and affordable housing pipelines, the inclusion of supportive units reflects growing municipal pressure to bundle social-service mandates into new residential entitlements, adding a layer of operational complexity that warrants careful underwriting.
