Located along the beachfront in the Rockaways, Beach Green Dunes I (completed in 2019) and Beach Green II (completed in 2020) deliver 228 sustainable and resilient affordable units to a neighborhood with a high risk of flooding. The Building is oriented to allow for the majority of the units to have views to the Atlantic Ocean.
The building is built to PHIUS Passive House. BGD employs brick and EIFS envelope strategy, and a mechanical system comprising a ground source heat-pumps and high-efficiency ERVs, which greatly reduce carbon emissions while addressing the risks from higher temperatures, power outages and increased flooding.
