Development Facts

Quinnipiac Terrace is a Family development, providing homes for individuals and families with children. These townhouse and walk-up style units have from 1 to 5 bedrooms and include a bathroom, living room and eat-in kitchen in all apartments. Some units are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Uniform Federal Accessibilities Standards (UFAS). The site features a computer learning lab. Elevator service and off-street parking is available. Only 10 minutes from downtown New Haven, Quinnipiac Terrace has easy access to parks, restaurants, shopping, museums and cinemas.

The Glendower Group successfully co-developed and rebuilt this complex and outsources management of the property to Trinity Management Company.

Quinnipiac Terrace originally broke ground in May of 2005 and was funded in part by a $20 million HOPE VI grant from HUD. $33 million of additional funding was provided by non-HOPE VI sources, including $5.6 million from the City of New Haven. The redevelopment occurred in three phases with a mix of public and rental housing.

Phase 1 consisted of the demolition of seven existing public housing buildings and the construction of 81 new family apartments. The total development costs for Phase 1 were approximately $28 million and were financed through a combination of HOPE VI funds, 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits and City of New Haven funds. Phase 2 construction began in September 2006 and was completed in March 2008. Phase 2 created an additional 79 units of affordable rental housing for a total development cost of $36.4M. The third phase of development, which includes 33 units of mixed income rental housing, closed in July 2010 and was completed in May 2011 for a total development cost of $15 million.

The new Quinnipiac Terrace provides housing that meets the needs and lifestyles of today’s families with appropriate kitchens, living areas, and outdoor spaces. The design maximizes private, individual entries and created private backyards in almost all units.
