Innovator of the Year Award
05/05/2010
Conifer Realty Receives Innovator of the Year Award from
New York State Association for Affordable Housing for
Hamilton Apartments Preservation Project
Rochester, NY - Conifer Realty, LLC has received the 2010 Innovator of the Year Award from the New York State Association for Affordable Housing (NYSAFAH) for the Hamilton Apartments, a project that preserved, redeveloped, and transformed a 13-story, 202-unit structure that was part of the former River Park Commons on Mt. Hope Avenue, near downtown Rochester.
The Innovator of the Year Award - presented on April 29th at the NYSAFAH Annual Conference at the Marriott Marquis in New York City - was received by Conifers' Tim Fournier, President & CEO, and Allen Handelman, Project Director. "The Hamilton Apartments project was a demanding, time-consuming, and ultimately extremely rewarding undertaking for Conifer," said Fournier. "It's a tribute to the vision of our Chairman Richard J. Crossed, and the persistence and dedication of everyone in our company. It was a true team effort that demonstrated how the Conifer and Conifer-LeChase organizations can achieve great things and make outstanding contributions to affordable housing in our community."
The Innovator Award, presented annually by NYSAFAH, recognizes companies and individuals who have "broken new ground" in terms of developing ideas and projects that significantly advance the cause of affordable housing in New York State. NYSAFAH, formed in 1998, is a trade association for private sector organizations involved in affordable housing.
The redevelopment of the Hamilton Apartments began in 2004 when Conifer acquired the former River Park Commons complex, located directly on the Genesee River. The property, in a state of financial and social disrepair, also was designed and built in a manner that isolated residents from the river and the community, and blocked access to the river. Working with area organizations and the City of Rochester, Conifer proposed a redevelopment plan that included rehabilitation of the building at 185 Mt. Hope Ave. that would become the Hamilton Apartments.
"The success of the Hamilton Apartments is the result of collaborative efforts by local, state and federal government agencies, civic action and the entrepreneurial skills of Conifer and our partners," said Crossed. "We've created a catalyst for civic pride, helped to renew the entire area, and designed a building that is already becoming an icon and gem on Rochester's riverfront. The bottom line is that the Hamilton Apartments exemplify the many positive outcomes that can be created through current housing policies and private/public partnerships."
