INFILL HOUSINGLeewood's strategy of infill redevelopment home ownership projects addressed a variety of urban and suburban settings – many of them former brownfield sites. The concept was based on established housing prototype models specifically developed for affordable and market rate, mixed income one- and two-family homes. These form the base components of new residential blocks that extend the continuity of existing streetscape grids. As such, these redevelopment concepts integrate pedestrian greenways and open space created by the simple building blocks enhancing the sense of community and creating new neighborhoods.
• CAMDEN - The conceptual master plan for a residential urban development project for 770 homes for moderate and low moderate-income families envisioned a workforce residential community integrated into the existing neighborhood of this historic zone.
• UPPER TOWNSHIP – New mixed income neighborhood in a suburban tract establishes the primacy of the street as structure for community life and density generator.
• ASBURY PARK – This juxtaposed concept to public housing envisions a variety of housing types defining open space and neighborhood identity. Enhancing the continuity of the surrounding neighborhood’s one- and two-family prototypes, the project proposes an alternate model of development while maintaining the same density of the generic public housing buildings it replaces.
• TRENTON – Located in a former industrial site, this redevelopment project extends the residential neighborhood fabric through affordable housing ownership opportunities.
PROTOTYPESPrototype construction entails a process of careful design, selection and procurement that establishes the basic building block of these redevelopment schemes providing a baseline of dependable components that can be adjusted to a variety of sites. This versatility of design can accommodate different exterior treatments that allow maximum contextual response to different neighborhood uses and market levels. Developed primarily as workforce housing components, these prototypes have been easily enhanced to provide full market rate models and options. In NJ, prototypes have been developed to full construction documentation in consultation with manufacturers and suppliers streamlining the permitting process down to automatic approvals of established model lines. Leewood's application of prototypes extended beyond the infill program to include market-rate opportunities in Trenton and New Brunswick, NJ.
