The three development teams that responded to the RFP gave brief presentations outlining their draft plans for the site. MOH gathered community input and reviewed submitted plans before selecting The Planning Office for Urban Affairs and the Caribbean Integration Development Corporation as a designee for the site and funds. The development team received state and federal funds in early 2024 which allowed construction to begin shortly thereafter. Following an ~18 month construction period, the project received its Certificate of Occupancy in October 2025. Applicants selected through the affordable housing lottery have since moved in to the building.
