Seneca Creek Senior Living

Seneca Creek's Gaithersburg location and thoughtfully designed apartments offer a comfortable and convenient living option for today's seniors. Each one- and two-bedroom floorplan is designed to provide comfort and flexibility, allowing residents to create a home that fits their space and living needs. Recognizing that there is more to apartment living than the floorplan, Seneca Creek also created special community amenities including a beauty salon, fitness center, clubroom, and bike storage.

The Ellery NYC

Located in Hell's Kitchen Clinton Preservation District, only minutes from Bryant Park, Hudson Yards, Rockefeller Center, and Time Square, this new mixed-use building earned NGBS Green Certification at the Silver level through optimizing energy usage, enhancing water efficiency, and achieving superior indoor air quality. Eighty-two units are reserved for residents at 40% to 120% of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $32,023 to $183,000.

Manor Hialeah

Manor Hialeah is a vibrant community and rapidly growing center of art and commerce featuring a curated collection of museum-quality artwork to complement amenity spaces.

Grove Central

Located adjacent to Miami's Coconut Grove train station, Grove Central is a mixed-use, transit-oriented community designed to reduce auto reliance through public transit, improved walkability with sidewalks, street crossings, bike trails, and nearby community resources.

The Standard at College Park

The Standard at College Park presents a student housing approach that blends residential and commercial spaces. The building offers a range of unit types, each with high-speed internet, stainless steel appliances, in-unit laundry, and basic furnishings to suit students and young professionals.

HARMON Five Points

HARMON Five Points is a new rental community featuring 76 three-story 3 bedroom/3.5 bath townhomes, each with its own garage and balcony. The open concept townhomes feature modern fixtures, granite countertops, subway tile backsplashes, generously sized islands, high-end stainless-steel and energy-efficient appliances, full-size clothes washers and dryers conveniently located on the upper level, and smart home front door locks and thermostats.

The M at Shadow Mountain

Two of the project’s 29 buildings missed the mandatory pre-drywall inspection and required an Administrative Appeal (AA process) to achieve green certification. Buildings that follow this process receive a higher level of quality assurance because of the missed inspections.
