Jersey City Mayor Steven M. Fulop recently joined The Community Builders (TCB) at a ribbon cutting celebrating the opening of Fairview Heights Apartments, a mixed-income community at 43 Fairview Ave in McGinley Square, Jersey City. The complex features 92 residences ranging from studio to three-bedroom layouts, with 52 homes dedicated to affordable housing.
“By prioritizing low- and mixed-income development, we are adding affordable housing opportunities at historic rates throughout Jersey City and Fairview Heights is another important achievement on this front, with more than half of the 90 units reserved for income-restricted families,” said Mayor Fulop. “We are proud to partner with The Community Builders on this project, bringing the former YMCA complex back to life in an important way and welcoming families to a safe place they can now call home.”
Fairview Heights homes embrace sustainability and have achieved ENERGY STAR and Enterprise Green Communities (EGC) certifications. Homes offer modern interiors with contemporary bathrooms and kitchens outfitted with energy-efficient appliances. Residents will enjoy a wealth of community amenities, including laundry facilities, a children’s playroom, a fitness room, a roof deck, and a residents’ lounge with a kitchenette and screening area.
Since 1964, The Community Builders has developed, financed, and operated residential communities and advanced housing equity through award-winning affordable and mixed-income destinations. Their ownership and management portfolio includes over 14,000 apartment homes across 15 states. “Today’s ribbon cutting underscores a redoubling of TCB’s decades-long commitment to Jersey City,” said Jesse Batus, TCB New York/New Jersey Regional Vice President of Real Estate Development. “As a mixed-income community, Fairview Heights is a model of equitable development, delivering modern amenities to both market-rate renters and families of more modest means.”
The Fairview Heights Apartments community was made possible through funding from the City of Jersey City, Hudson County, TD Bank, Boston Financial, Community Preservation Corporation, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company, New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, New Jersey Community Capital and New Hope Community Capital. Inglese Architecture + Engineering is the project architect. Sisca Northeast Associates is the general contractor.
