About
At the time of its opening in 2022, 425 Grand Concourse was the largest Passive House (PHIUS) project in North America. This mixed-use and mixed-income development creates 277 units of affordable housing. The two-story base houses a medical facility, supermarket, community support space, and a new student services center for CUNY Hostos.
The 26-story building is Passive House (PHIUS+ 2018) certified and will consume up to 70% less energy than a conventional housing project. The development implements high efficiency building systems with an air-tight building envelope, energy recovery ventilation, and sustainable features to significantly reduce heat loss and gain. The project will surpass the Enterprise Green Communities Criteria and the design incorporates NYC Active Design Guidelines to encourage opportunities for physical activity.
