DHA’s $11 million Westwood Homes project at 855 Irving Street consists of partial renovations and small additions to 184 affordable townhomes in 23 buildings, and one building renovation for Catholic Charities’ Headstart program at the same location. Work on this 1950’s two-story, cast-in-place structure will be multi-phased, and carried out in an occupied environment. The 192,000 sf project contains numerous upgrades designed to meet Enterprise Green Communities Criteria. Sustainable upgrades expected to provide a 15% decrease in energy consumption include solar electric; Energy Star appliances, furnaces and water heaters; new insulation; no urea formaldehyde on new millwork, asbestos, lead, and radon mitigation.
