Manhattan officials broke ground on the city’s upcoming low- to moderate-income senior living center Monday while celebrating completing a long process that led to this point.
“When completed, Sunflower Flats will provide 62 ADA accessible senior housing units, creating homes where residents can age in place, in comfort and with dignity,” Mayor Susan Adamchak said. “This achievement has been a long time in the making. … The vision for this project began about five years ago, and public outreach and information sharing began in the summer of 2022. More than three years later, it’s incredibly rewarding to see that vision become a reality.”
Part of the city’s parking lot at the corner of Fifth and Pierre streets will become the site for Sunflower Flats while the other half will remain free parking. The project came about through a partnership between the Manhattan Housing Authority and HousingMHK.
