Renaissance Square represents a sea change in the design and management of affordable housing in Puerto Rico. Located on the former Las Gladiolas Public Housing site, the new, mixed-income, mixed-use community is just steps from the Golden Mile Financial District in Hato Rey, and features market-rate amenities, high-quality finishes, etc.

Renaissance Square was designed to be resilient: the buildings are built withstand a direct hit by a Category 4 storm through hurricane-rated doors, windows, roofs, and structures. This resiliency was tested during construction of the community when Hurricane María hit Puerto Rico. As a result of the design, there were minimal delays in construction and the community was ready to receive families soon after.

In addition to the resilient design, the new community sets a new standard for community design in Puerto Rico. It connects to the larger neighborhood, providing residents access to job centers, transportation, schools, and recreation. It also includes state-of-the-art site amenities with onsite management space, as well as a community space with a fitness room, and business center for residents. Renaissance Square also incorporates commercial space.

A public-private partnership between the Puerto Rico Department of Housing (PRDOH), McCormack Baron Salazar, and private investors used public dollars to leverage private equity, resulting in a total investment of $35.5 million. Through this innovative partnership, a vacant affordable housing site has now been transformed into a new, vibrant community in which Puerto Ricans from all income levels can live together and thrive.

As a mixed-income community, monthly rental costs vary, and are based on income limits. Certain income and qualification restrictions may apply. Rental rates are subject to change and may differ from those currently listed on the website. Please visit our website or call us for additional information.

Riviera Reserve is comprised of 23 exclusive Signature Estates in a private corner of the thriving Riviera community. Its modern design, spacious lots, and refined details make it a unique opportunity for those who are looking for a luxury residence inside a modern community within the metropolitan area.

The Reserve Signature Estates highlight modern architecture with clean lines that provide for large, functional spaces for all your family and social activities. Understanding that needs vary, not only between households but through time, VRM’s FLEX design is ideal for accommodating the changing needs of a family for years to come. This allows for the easy conversion of this space into a first-floor master bedroom in the future, thus avoiding the stairs, if preferred.

In addition, Riviera Reserve residences have been designed to have a modern elevator system installed and that residents can choose to purchase prior to delivery or have the option of installing it later on.

Riviera Parkview represents unique style and great taste. Located in Riviera, the most complete and innovative master planned community in the San Juan Metro Area, these spacious residences stand out due to their design, functional spaces, fine details and VRM’s focus on construction quality standards.

In Rivera Parkview, VRM presents two residential models and an innovative FLEX design concept that adapts to the preferences and needs of each family. The residences designed with this concept allow you to easily convert a large space in the first floor into a primary or secondary master bedroom with a spacious bathroom and walk-in closet. The space also lends itself for a comfortable guest room, studio, office, playroom, bar lounge, or even a gymnasium. Your imagination will give life to the FLEX space in Riviera.

The Emerald Vista revitalization is a comprehensive transformation of a previously distressed and obsolete public housing site into a resilient, inter-generational, mixed-income community. Since Hurricane Irma and María struck the island in 2017, there has been an acute need in Puerto Rico for high-quality, affordable, resilient housing for all types of families. The Emerald Vista revitalization is working to meet that need.

The 20-acre site in south Caguas includes 238 apartments for families – ranging from one- to four- bedrooms in townhomes and walk-up apartments (Villas at Emerald Vista). There is also a 200- unit apartment building for seniors (Senior Residences at Emerald Vista).

In addition, the new community includes a 6,400 square foot administrative building with a community room with a business area and wi-fi, a fitness room and management space.

The community has integrated health and safety features including an enhanced lighting plan, security-controlled parking, smart keys and smart home security, fitness and walking trails, small playgrounds, a community gathering public-park with a main plaza and multiple gazebos.

In addition to sustainable features like a photovoltaic solar system, Energy Star appliances and fixtures, and solar/wind orientation, the new development is resilient to storm events, including hurricane-resistant construction, emergency power supplies, and a robust resiliency plan.

Emerald Vista is the first multifamily housing development in Puerto Rico to use HUD Federal funds from the Community Development Block Grant for Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program to help the island recover from 2017 hurricane season. A public/private partnership between the Puerto Rico Department of Housing, McCormack Baron Salazar, and private investors has resulted in over $130 million invested in the effort.

As a mixed-income community, monthly rental costs vary, and are based on income limits. Certain income and qualification restrictions may apply. Rental rates are subject to change and may differ from those currently listed on the website. Please visit our website or call us for additional information.

Puerta de Tierra was the first public housing project built in Puerto Rico. Constructed in the 1930s, it was meant to be an example of the best of modernized housing with 8 zig-zagged four-story buildings in a closed campus. Instead, it became an example of the detrimental effects of concentrated poverty. Located in the Old San Juan historic district, Puerta de Tierra became an obstacle to the stabilization and proposed redevelopment of the district and an obstacle to the success of its own families.

In 2014, the Puerto Rico Department of Housing (PRDOH) began to search for a new model for providing housing for Puerto Rico neediest families. McCormack Baron Salazar joined the PRDOH to explore mixed-income, mixed-finance scenarios for the revitalization of Puerta de Tierra.

The new 9-acre community includes 174 new apartments in a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in a 4-story mixed use building, 3-story walk-ups, and 3-story townhouse buildings. The development also includes a management/leasing office of approximately 3,300 square feet, with management space, a community room (with a business center area), and a fitness room. There is also approximately 6,000 square feet of commercial space and a stand-alone maintenance building. Site amenities include landscaping, site lights, site utilities, controlled parking, walking trails, tot lots, and community gardens. The new development preserves and enhances affordable housing options in San Juan, and also connects the Puerta de Tierra community with the broader Bahía Urbana revitalization.

A public-private partnership between the Puerto Rico Department of Housing (PRDOH), McCormack Baron Salazar, and private investors used public dollars to leverage private equity, resulting in a total investment of $41.3 million. Through this innovative partnership, a vacant affordable housing site has now been transformed into a new, vibrant community in which Puerto Ricans from all income levels can live together and thrive.

As a mixed-income community, monthly rental costs vary, and are based on income limits. Certain income and qualification restrictions may apply.
