Built in 1966, the luxury building offers breathtaking views, overlooking the Lincoln Harbor Marina, Hoboken, the Hudson River, and New York City. When bringing on SKAPC to develop its renova- tion and the upgrade master plan, the client was famil- iar with SKAPC’s extensive experience rebranding and repurposing luxury high-rises along the Gold Coast of New Jersey. MAREJ Homes has received notable support; earlier this year, the Housing Authority City of Pittsburgh (HACP) committed approximately $1.6 million in gap financing funding, along with 24 project-based Section 8 vouchers for the project. Located at the corner of Broadhead Fording and Village Rd. in Pittsburgh’s Fairywood neighborhood, the Cedarwood Homes development plan in- cludes 46 total units, 39 of which will be affordable to residents with incomes up to 60% of the area median income. The project features spacious one-bedroom units with cov- ered porches, surrounded by a series of walkable, park-like green spaces. State Senator Wayne Fon- tana, with the support of Pitts- burgh Mayor William Peduto and his chief of staff, Dan Gilman, played a critical role in spearheading the effort to secure the funding for Cedar- wood Homes.
