Rowe Apartments
New Haven, CT
Completed in 2011, the William T. Rowe (Rowe) redevelopment transformed a blighted property into high-quality housing for residents with a mix of incomes. The original Rowe property (Old Rowe) was physically distressed, required structural repairs, and needed a complete overhaul of its building systems. After evaluating the existing structure, it became apparent that the Old Rowe building was not salvageable and had to be demolished. The new Rowe was designed to maintain the sense of community established during Old Rowe's 37-year history while also taking advantage of the positive changes occurring in downtown New Haven.
The redevelopment of the Rowe Apartments involved the construction of a nine-story building with 104 one- and two-bedroom apartments on land adjacent to the original Rowe site. This property was acquired through a unique land swap agreement with Yale-New Haven Hospital. The building includes off-street parking for 88 vehicles, approximately 2,000 square feet of first-floor retail and commercial space, and approximately 2,000 square feet of community and supportive service space. Of the 104 units, 78 are reserved for households earning at or below 60% of the area median income (AMI), while the remaining 26 units are market-rate, targeted toward individuals working in the nearby medical district.
