Benedict Court Affordable Housing A man and child walk through a parking lot toward two modern brick apartment buildings. Cars are parked on both sides, and trees with autumn leaves frame the scene under a blue sky. A brick apartment building with large windows, a covered entrance, and two people near the doorway. A white car is parked under the overhang, and plants line the walkway. A five-story brick building with large windows and a covered entrance. There are plants along the front, and a white car is parked near the entrance. The sky is partly cloudy. A five-story red brick apartment building stands beside a tree-lined street with parked cars along the curb on a sunny day. A sidewalk and greenery are visible in front of the building.

Benedict Court is a new multifamily apartment building located in the heart of downtown Greenwich, Connecticut. This area features a mix of red brick, six-story apartment buildings, situated just one block from the main commercial avenue. These apartment buildings, while varied in architectural styles and not overly ornate, all employ thoughtful and well detailed brick facades. Their creative brick details introduce a sense of craft and timeless proportions. The proposed Benedict Court project extends this character through its use of two brick tones and textural brick detailing including window surrounds and a brick cornice. The 120-unit building has a gracious port cochere vehicular drop off and a covered pedestrian entry on the main façade which provides a sheltered entry area off the street. The building includes many amenity spaces on the ground floor and a common roof-top terrace for all residents with sweeping views of Long Island Sound. There is also a cellar and sub-cellar indoor parking facility for all residents.

The project is part of the State of Connecticut 8-30g affordable housing program and therefore a percentage of the units will be reserved as affordable housing units.
