Thirty Townhouses Planned on E. Ferry Street

True Bethel Baptist Church, Belmont Housing Resources, and Creative Structures Services are teaming up to construct a 30 unit residential development at 858 E. Ferry Street. The $6.6 project is contingent on receiving financial assistance from the NYS Department of Housing and Community Renewal. It would be built on a remediated former industrial site in the Delavan-Grider neighborhood, across from True Bethel church, and provide housing for families whose household income is less than 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI).

True Bethel Townhomes involves the construction of four multi-family residential buildings and a community center on a 2.94-acre site. There will be 10 two-bedroom units, 14 three-bedroom units, and six, four-bedroom units and parking for 72 cars. Five of the residences will be ADA-accessible while the remaining 25 units will be handicap adaptable. Design features of accessible units include roll-in showers, lowered countertops, lever-type faucets and door handles, tilt mirrors in bathrooms, and visual door bells and fire alarms. Entrances to accessible units will be at-grade with automatic door openers. Silvestri Architects is designing the project.
