WATER STREET APARTMENTS

Six new one-bedroom apartments were completed in October of 2016 on land donated to the Island Housing Trust by Steve Bernier in downtown Vineyard Haven.  The building design was developed through a competition with the goal of designing a building that complements the existing neighborhood and provides livable, energy efficient, affordable in-town rental housing.  Terrain Architects of Vineyard Haven was selected to complete the conceptual design and BrightBuilt Home of Portland was selected to complete the modular plan design. This in-town transit oriented apartment building serves low and very low income island residents with the greatest need. The Trust has contracted the Dukes County Regional Housing Authority to provide rental and property management services. Photographs can be viewed at Water Street photographs.
