Project Description

The 21 Elizabeth Street project, located within a New York State designated disadvantaged community in Kingston, will deliver a new 20,530 square foot building with 15 limited-equity cooperative units designed for working-class and middle-income households. The project addresses the need for stable, attainable homeownership by offering long-term, resident-controlled housing and supports workforce retention, economic resilience, and neighborhood investment. The project will be an all-electric, PHIUS Passive House certified structure featuring high-efficiency residences, electric vehicle charging stations, battery storage, and shared amenities including a community room, garden, and play space. The model is designed to be replicable and scalable for future development across Ulster County and throughout New York State. The project will deliver a fully constructed building, clean energy systems, supporting infrastructure, and permanent stewardship through a community land trust.

The Building Cleaner Communities Competition

The Building Cleaner Communities Competition supports regionally significant, zero emissions and resilient new construction and existing building renovation projects across New York State. Building Cleaner Communities projects demonstrate how they will help achieve the goals of the New York State Regional Economic Development Council’s Strategic Plan (opens in new window) or other State priorities, while creating resilient and functional spaces that are healthy, safe, comfortable.
