Newburgh, NY
East End II is RUPCO’s largest project to date. This $32- million scattered-site development -completed in 2023- includes 24 building sites in a seven-block radius located in New York State’s second-largest historic district. East End II has historically restored ten vacant buildings and constructed new buildings on twelve vacant sites – creating a total of 61 new, mixed-income homes.
The project includes ten apartments for formerly homeless persons who now receive rental subsidy and case management services through an Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI) grant through the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports.
The project joins RUPCO’s East End I -completed in 2018- which created 45 mixed-income apartments in 15 buildings on a scattered-site campus, totaling 106 affordable homes developed in the heart of Newburgh. The projects are conveniently located adjacent to the Broadway business and government corridor, SUNY Orange (Newburgh Campus), Mount Saint Mary College, and St. Luke Cornell Hospital.
In addition, RUPCO partnered with local nonprofit LYNC to adapt and reuse the former United Methodist Church as a commercial and community service hub called “Highpoint.” The campus spans an entire city block -17,000 sf- and includes the former Church, the newly restored 257 Liberty Street building and the City-owned Audrey Carey Park. Highpoint, managed by LYNC, will provide daycare, a co-working space for women of color, retail space, and a health center.
Highpoint will also proudly serve as the home of Newburgh YouthBuild, a pre-apprenticeship program that RUPCO and LYNC have been administering since 2021 that prepares local youth ages 16 – 24 for careers in carpentry, construction trades, culinary arts and nursing. Highpoint, named for its iconic steeple that adorns the City’s skyline and is visible from all directions, will serve as an aspirational focal point for the East End.
