CATCH Neighborhood Housing is in the running for a national award from the Home Depot Foundation for its Friedman Court II project.
Friedman Court II contains 41 affordable apartments for people age 62 and older, built according to EnergyStar and LEED standards. The design is expected to reduce energy use by 47 percent compared to traditional building designs. During construction, 50 percent of the construction and demolition waste was recycled.
The housing, located at 19 Old Suncook Road, was completed last fall, and the units are now all rented to qualified renters.
Friedman Court II was designed by Warrenstreet Architects and built by Gary Chicoine Construction. The Jordan Institute was the consultant on environmental issues.
CATCH was one of 10 non-profit housing organizations around the country invited to submit a more detailed application after the Home Dept Foundation reviewed the first round of applications for its Award of Excellence.
CATCH recently submitted the final application to the Home Depot Foundation, including a letter of support from Gov. John Lynch. Winners will be announced in August.
