Ascendant connects residents and community partners to build and preserve affordable housing, and to cultivate thriving, resilient neighborhoods.
Our award-winning historic preservation work in our community development strategy, renewing early 20th-century buildings for long-term affordability.
Ascendant was chosen for two separate PACT projects, partnering with NYCHA to bring comprehensive repairs, new property management, and social services for over 1500 households, all while maintaining affordable rent and resident protections.
We have four new projects in our development pipeline that are in various stages of pre-development. When complete, 7 new buildings will provide 594 new deeply affordable homes to Northern Manhattan residents.
By revitalizing entire blocks that had suffered from neglect and decay during times of widespread disinvestment, we play a vital role in the restoration and renewal of our communities. But that’s just the beginning.
