Carrick Senior Apartments Breaks Ground on Brownsville Road

Construction is underway on Carrick Senior Apartments, a 52-unit affordable building for residents 62 and older at 2531 Brownsville Road in Carrick. The three-story building is co-owned and co-developed by CHN Housing Partners and Amani Christian Development Corporation. Rothschild Doyno Collaborative is the architect; Mosites Construction Company is general contractor.

Work began October 27 with demolition of the former Berg Place complex, seven buildings with 33 units vacant since 2014. The new building will have 47 one-bedroom and five two-bedroom units, all reserved for households earning 20% to 80% of area median income, plus 1,200 square feet of street-level office space. Completion is expected in summer 2028.

Units include dishwashers and free internet. Building amenities include on-site laundry, a community room, a community kitchen and lounge, resident lounges, and on-site supportive services.

Total development cost is estimated at $25.05 million, according to URA board records. Financing includes a 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit from PHFA awarded in 2025. The URA approved $2.45 million in loans plus a land sale in September. HACP committed $1.3 million in gap financing and 13 project-based vouchers. Other funders include First National Bank, Grow America, Allegheny County, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bridgeway Capital, and HUD.
