Homesteads at Dunkirk Landing is a new construction, mixed-income, mixed-use affordable multifamily housing development by Regan Development Corporation located at two sites in Dunkirk, NY, consisting of 160–164 East 4th Street and 208–214 and 220 Washington Avenue. The development will provide 78 residential dwelling units and 5,624 square feet of commercial space in partnership with Soldier On, a nonprofit organization serving veterans.
The development involves two three-story elevator buildings with a combined 78 dwelling units, including 33 one-bedroom apartments, 42 two-bedroom apartments, and 3 three-bedroom apartments. The apartments will serve individuals and families earning between 30 and 70 percent of the Area Median Income (“AMI”) for Chautauqua County. Sixteen apartments will be designated for permanent supportive housing for homeless veterans with disabilities, with rental assistance and supportive services funded through the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (“ESSHI”). The development will also include one two-bedroom apartment for a live-in building superintendent.
The building designs offer high-quality finishes and amenities, including elevators, resident community rooms, laundry facilities, property management and supportive services offices, and storage space. Outdoor amenities will include a playground, benches, and fenced areas. The development will provide 151 on-site parking spaces across both sites, including electric vehicle charging stations, as well as bicycle storage rooms. All apartments will include dishwashers, microwaves, bulk storage access, and high-speed broadband internet at no additional cost to residents. All 78 dwelling units will be visitable and adaptable, including eight fully accessible apartments for residents with mobility impairments and four fully accessible apartments for residents with hearing and/or vision impairments.
The project includes 5,624 square feet of commercial space at the East 4th Street site, targeted for a childcare center operated by Fresh Beginnings. The center will serve resident families and the broader Dunkirk community.
Homesteads at Dunkirk Landing has been designed to meet the 2020 Enterprise Green Communities Plus certification and incorporates advanced all-electric, whole-building decarbonization strategies. The development will utilize site-sourced solar photovoltaic systems and high-performance building features exceeding applicable New York State energy code and housing sustainability requirements. The project is also designed to meet EPA ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction, EPA Indoor airPLUS, and DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes standards.
Regan Development Corporation is proud to work with Soldier On, New York State, and its development and financing partners to deliver high-quality affordable and supportive housing in Dunkirk, NY.
