2025 Construction watch: Barrier Free Living on 2nd Street

Here's a look at the in-progress new state-of-the-art facility for Barrier Free Living at 270 E. Second St. between Avenue C and Avenue D...
The 12-story new building with a twisting façade will be known as "Freedom Village." 

Here's a look at the rendering (which we have posted in the past).
Barrier Free Living works with survivors of domestic violence with disabilities. The new complex will include 75 affordable and supportive apartments for homeless adults needing services and seniors transitioning out of nursing homes. 

Gov. Hochul's office funded $6.9 million for the project in July 2022. Funding for related services and rent support will come from the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative. 

Foundation work for the 65,000-square-foot facility started on the site in the summer of 2023

Workers demolished BFL's previous structure here in 2020.
