The Rise

The Rise is a mixed-use, Passive House-certified Brooklyn development that offers 72 units of supportive and affordable housing for justice-involved families and low-income households, and over 13,000 square feet of community facility space. The development includes social service offices, community programming space, two fitness studios, and a rooftop community garden that will provide healthy food access for the neighborhood. A computer room, laundry room, and community room, with adjacent landscaped terraces make up the residential amenities. Urban design considerations like large glass storefronts, recessed, well-lit, pedestrian and bike-friendly entrances and deep sidewalks, give The Rise a welcoming street front. Brick relief patterns add texture and variation to the exterior, and three main volumes clad in a dark gray brick and capped with residential amenity terraces “step up” along the front façade. As a physical representation of the social impact within the building, those bays inspired the name – The Rise.
