We’re breaking ground on Gateway Apartments in Rochester: this $72 million project will transform a long-vacant office building into 129 affordable, all-electric homes. Gateway Apartments shows how we can reimagine underused spaces to meet today’s housing needs. With a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, energy-efficient design, and easy access to transit, jobs, and services, this development will expand opportunity for working families and strengthen the Rochester community. Under Governor Hochul’s leadership, we’re building more housing and creating a more affordable New York for everyone.
