The 113-unit property is an affordable seniors housing community that is located at 111 W. 71st St. Project FIND, a nonprofit that supports low-income seniors, and JOE NYC, a nonprofit that supports affordable housing developers in the city, are the primary sponsors behind the project. The renovation work will upgrade the building’s elevators, energy systems, lobby and façade.
