Amenta Emma’s design involved the demolition of all units located at Canaan Parish and the new development of approximately 100 units of affordable and Market Rate housing, and on-site office/clubhouse. The redevelopment plan included phasing or other measures to minimize the off-site relocation of existing residents. The total square footage is approximately 130,000 sf and the construction budget is approximately $30M. The Owner is seeking 4% tax credits from CHFA.

The Design Concept for the new development focused on a central courtyard enclosed by two opposing L shaped 4 story apartment buildings with openings at the corners framing views to the lake and woodland beyond. Elegant overhangs at the roof give the building a friendly residential character and a stone base at the parking level helps to break down the scale and reduce the height.

Building One is complete and fully occupied. Building Two is in final construction phase.
