Affordable Housing

The Hamptons are in desperate need of affordable housing since many of the people that work there can't afford to live there, much like New York City. Unlike New York City there is very little incentive for people to build affordable housing in the Hamptons and give up the potential for multi-million dollar homes. Meisel Development is very community and environmentally conscious. The original design of the project only had office space but once we realized that there was unused space in the second level of two of the three buildings, we saw an opportunity to provide a community benefit in the form of six affordable apartments. These units will be 600 sf each with one bedroom. They will include all utilities, internet and even phone since the building will be so efficient as a green building.
