Construction starts on mixed-income residential community
New York State Homes and Community Renewal recently broke ground on The Eastman Reserve in Rochester, the first large-scale new construction development to occur in Eastman Business Park in decades. The development will be located on a previous Kodak parking lot along the western portion of Eastman Avenue. The $52.9 million mixed-income development will feature 187 rental units and commercial space within 17 buildings; 27 units will be targeted to homeless young adults who will have access to on-site support services.
Rental rates at The Eastman Reserve, which is being developed by Rochester nonprofit PathStone, will be available to residents who earn between 60 percent and 130 percent of area median income, with 27 units offering support services for homeless young adults. Utilities are paid for by the owner.
