Jehovah’s Witnesses’ former DUMBO hotel to begin conversion to low-income housing
Breaking Ground, New York’s largest supportive housing developer, on Monday announced the nonprofit is moving ahead with the repositioning of 90 Sands St. to turn the former Jehovah’s Witnesses hotel into 491 units of affordable and supportive housing.
With the closing of the building’s construction loan, the renovation will break ground before the end of November. Construction completion is expected in the first quarter of 2022, Breaking Ground writes.
The Center for Urban Community Services (CUCS) will provide onsite social services to residents of 90 Sands. Breaking Ground and CUCS have a longstanding partnership and 90 Sands marks their tenth building together to provide housing and onsite support for formerly homeless individuals and families.
