Pennrose, the New Brunswick Housing and Redevelopment Authority (NBHA) and project partners broke ground on Hildebrand Commons, the transformation of the former Hoffman Pavilion public housing site into a 66-unit affordable housing community for older adults (55+) in New Brunswick, NJ. Move-ins are anticipated for Fall 2026.

The six-story building will include one- and two-bedroom apartments available at 20% to 60% of the Area Median Income, $21,480 to $64,440 for a one-person household. Forty-eight units will serve as replacement public housing and 39 will be RCA units. Five apartments will be set aside for formerly homeless individuals.

“It’s an honor to begin another impactful initiative with NBHA to deliver much-needed affordable housing for New Brunswick’s seniors,” said Jacob Fisher, regional VP at Pennrose. “In an area with significantly long waitlists for affordable, senior rental options, Hildebrand Commons will transform a vacant and underutilized site into a critical community asset.”
