February 07, 2017 - Upstate New York

Henrietta, NY SWBR Architects was recently honored at the 2016 NAIOP Upstate New York Chapter Awards of Excellence ceremony. The firm was recognized for its architectural design work on DePaul Rochester View Apartments.

The NAIOP awards celebrate the high-quality and innovative achievements of regional commercial real estate projects from the upstate New York area, covering the Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse regions.

There are several award categories, and each winning project represents a challenge that was overcome and realized results that were economically, environmentally and/or aesthetically achieved.

Rochester View Apartments is one of the first projects of its kind in the state, designed to better accommodate income-eligible tenants who are deaf, hard of hearing or use American Sign Language. The community consists of 61 affordable one- and two-bedroom apartments offering enhanced supports. Each apartment is equipped with specific technology to help tenants, including open floor plans with high levels of visibility, strategic lighting, safety lights on appliances, vibrating-alarm beds in case of a fire, hard-wired strobe lights for CO2 and fire alarms.
