SWBR Architects (www.swbr.com), a Rochester, New York-based architectural firm, revealed the completion of the design for Stadium Estates, a new affordable housing project that will be built adjacent to Sahlen's Stadium in the JOSANA neighborhood. SWBR served as lead designer and architect for the $10.5 million project, $9.2 million of which has been invested by New York state. The project in the JOSANA neighborhood will consist of 45 three-, four- or five-bedroom rental units, with the possibility of home ownership in the future. This is part of the city's comprehensive master plan to guide the continued revitalization of the JOSANA neighborhood in northwest Rochester. SWBR Architects — along with Stantec, Davidson Fink LLP, the City of Rochester, NYS Homes and Community Renewal, Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, NYS Housing Trust Fund, Raymond James Tax Credit Funds Inc. and Citizens Bank — celebrated a groundbreaking ceremony in October. Construction is estimated to take about a year.
