Structura was pleased to have collaborated with Cooper Carry and the Alexandria Housing Development Corporation (AHDC) to redevelop the Carpenter’s Shelter homeless facility in Alexandria, VA. The project involved constructing a new mixed-use, multi-family residential building offering 97 affordable housing units and a new space for Carpenter’s Shelter operations. The building now has a level of below-grade parking for 100 vehicles and a first floor that comprises spaces for the shelter, residential lobby, and residential units. Floors 2-6 are solely dedicated to residential usage, with around 115,000 SF of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units. Additionally, the building features a community room, 3 outdoor terraces, a 1,600 SF community garden, and a playground, totaling 187,000 SF.
