About Willow Tree Commons
Willow Tree Commons is a 21-story, purpose-built community that integrates housing, healthcare, and essential services in one location. Set to open in the fall of 2026, the building will include affordable and supportive homes, emergency shelter beds, and an on-site primary care clinic serving both residents and the surrounding community, with separate entrances and amenities for each program.
Built to replace a shelter Project Renewal has operated since 1998, the modern development represents a new standard for quality, dignity, and service integration for New Yorkers working towards stability.
