St. James Terrace is a 102-unit, mixed-income, mixed-use residential development located in the Fordham Heights neighborhood of the Bronx. Developed by Duvernay + Brooks, Concern for Independent Living, and BD Capital, the project includes 50% permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless adults with mental illness.

Duvernay + Brooks served as co-developer and project manager. Concern for Independent Living is the long-term owner, property manager, and on-site service provider.

The development includes 51 supportive housing units and affordable units serving households at 60% and 70% of Area Median Income (AMI)

The site was ground-leased from the adjacent landmarked St. James Episcopal Church, originally built in 1864. As part of the development, an existing non-historic one-story structure was demolished to make way for the new construction.

The 9-story building includes studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments and was designed to complement the historic church and surrounding neighborhood.

Resident amenities include:

• Rooftop terrace
• Multipurpose resident lounge
• Computer center
• Fitness room
• Laundry facilities and bicycle storage
• Dedicated social service space

The project also includes a 5,300 sf community facility operated by a nonprofit affiliate of St. James Church, providing services such as a food pantry and community programming. The roof of the community facility has a terrace for resident programming and the project features a 5,200 sf landscaped courtyard.

St. James Terrace was financed with tax-exempt bonds from New York State Housing Finance Agency (HFA), 4% LIHTC, and HCR CDBG and other subordinate funding, and ESSHI operating subsidy. Bank of America served as bond credit enhancer and tax credit investor.

The project was completed in 2023 and converted to permanent financing in 2024.
