Linden Houses / Penn-Wortman

Dantes Partners, in partnership with Douglaston Development, L&M Development Partners, and SMJ Development, will renovate and preserve 1,922 affordable housing units across 22 residential buildings in the East New York neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. In partnership with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) under its Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program, the units will convert to the Project-Based Section 8 housing. The anticipated project rehabilitation, worth over $534 million, will cover physical improvements that will not only enhance the quality of life for residents but also create new employment opportunities while at the same time prolong the life of the assets for years to come. Improvements include upgrades to elevators, mechanical systems, façade repairs, roof replacements, common areas, renovations to apartments including new kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, safety enhancements by upgrading entries, increased lighting, and new security systems, landscape improvements, and upgrades to the existing Community Center. Residents will also benefit from expanded social support services to include resident services for both seniors and young adults, and workforce development for those seeking career advancement.
