Construction is underway on a 67-unit affordable housing development at 35 Broadway in the village of Menands.

The project, called 35 Broadway, will include 35 apartments for veterans who have been homeless or are at risk of becoming unhoused, with onsite support services provided by Soldier On, Inc.

The four-story building will include a first-floor community room, office space for Soldier On, two counseling rooms, tenant lounges, exercise rooms, storage rooms and laundry facilities.

“This development is more than a building. It is a sanctuary of support, respect and care,” said Menands Mayor Brian Marsh. “It embodies our collective gratitude, and our responsibility to ensure that every veteran has a place that they can call home.”

The other 32 apartments will be affordable and made available to low-income members of the community.

Construction is expected to be completed by April of next year.
