Building of the Day: Casa Celina

Replacing an underutilized parking lot at the Justice Sonia Sotomayor Houses, this 204-unit affordable senior building is named for the Justice’s mother, Celina Baez. A variety of social spaces; fitness room with adjacent rooftop terrace, lounges on each floor, a library, laundry and community rooms aim to prevent isolation, a frequent challenge for seniors. At the ground floor, social services are available to eligible community members and storefront windows ensure visual connections to the neighborhood.

Please note: this tour is accessible by wheelchair.

Architect: Magnusson Architecture and Planning

Meeting location will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the tour.
