At the end of 2023, Project Renewal and Monadnock Development closed on construction financing to redevelop the New Providence Women's Shelter into a new 21-story tower that will include housing, a purpose-built shelter, and a street-facing medical clinic. The project is on 45th Street in Midtown Manhattan and is scheduled to be completed in 2026. The existing shelter had been operating for ~30 years in a building that did not meet program needs and was significantly under-built. Over the last five years the development team worked closely with our NYC agency partners to clear the path for this new building that will create 130 units of supportive and affordable housing, 171 purpose-built shelter beds, a public medical clinic, and social service and community space to help the building's tenants thrive. Huge thanks to the many professionals who helped us get to the closing, including Hirschen Singer & Epstein LLP, Monadnock Construction, Inc., Red Stone Equity Partners, LLC, Citi, NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development, New York City Housing Development Corporation, NYC Department of Social Services, Leviticus Fund, Deutsche Bank, Dattner Architects, WSP, GEA Group, MRCE, Bright Power, Inc., WEINTRAUB DIAZ LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, PLLC, and many more!
