Whitney Young Manor (“Whitney Young”) is a 195-unit multifamily development located in Yonkers, New York. Originally constructed in 1973, Whitney Young consists of two 12-story buildings (32 studios, 34 one-bedroom, 60 two-bedroom, 54 three-bedroom and 15 four-bedrooms), and a single-story community facility / daycare. There are also commercial spaces, currently occupied by a grocery store and storage facility for a community theater group, with frontage along Nepperhan Avenue. Over $23.5 million will be spent to provide a full rehab of the building, including major upgrades to building systems. The rehab scope of work will include an Exterior Insulating Façade System (EFIS) that will dramatically improve the buildings’ insulation along with a new centralized heat pump system that will provide heating, cooling and domestic hot water, and the installation of new windows and roofs. These energy efficiency measure upgrades will reduce the property’s carbon emissions and show how to comprehensively retrofit energy systems and modernize a multifamily affordable housing project
