The project will deliver approximately 116 new residential units and is being designed as an all-electric multifamily building pursuing Phius (Passive House) performance standard. With all 116 units designed for individuals who are deaf, deaf-blind or hard of hearing, the Waterhouse also reflects a commitment to inclusive design alongside high-performance building practices.
