Construction Starts on Atrium at Sumner Affordable Housing Development

Construction has started on Atrium at Sumner, an affordable housing development sited on the Sumner Houses campus in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. Occupying a formerly vacant lot, the completed Atrium at Sumner will provide 190 apartments, 57 of which will be reserved for homeless senior citizens. The remaining units will be rented to individuals and households earning at or below 50% of the area median income (AMI). In addition to the indoor garden housed in the namesake central atrium, the building will also include a social services suite, exercise room, community garden, and 7,500 square feet of community space.
