I'm a real estate developer of affordable housing in NYC, most recently in the South Bronx

Exploring building affordable housing (apt complexes) in Santiago, DR at the $59k US per unit price point.

Is $59k considered affordable housing for middle income families in DR?

Is there a market for apartments in this price range?

Is pre-sale of 50% of the units the norm?

Have financing lined up for land purchase.

Would appreciate thoughts/comments or further questions.

Thanks!

It is upsetting that so many men, women and children in this 21st century are denied safe and decent places to sleep, wash, eat and find cover from rain, smothering heat and freezing cold. Homelessness, once a hot topic, has almost faded from the public screen. Too few reporters and elected officials address this embarrassing blot on our social landscape. In the 1980s, Washington, D.C., was concerned about its growing army of homeless. At that time I found there were 8,000 boarded-up dwelling units in our Nation's Capital -- more than enough to accommodate some 5,000 street people. I also found there were 11,500 privately owned vacant lots in the District of Columbia, mostly zoned for and suitable for homes or apartments. Decent housing on these sites held in cold storage would have provided an alternative for the many low-income families squatting in places that were overcrowded, overpriced, overrun with vermin and overloaded with safety hazards.
