These upgrades were key in qualifying for a tax deduction, reflecting their commitment to sustainable construction.

The Yards, Linden Street’s second multi-family project, is a 78-acre mixed-use zone. The building offers 86 apartments and 1,800 SF of retail space. Construction began in December 2018 and was completed in April 2020, with this building qualified for a $1.80 per square foot deduction.
