BRATTLEBORO — The approximately 21,000-square-foot, five-story Snow Block on Flat Street is about 70 percent complete.
The $5.1 million construction project is within budget and “relatively on schedule” to be completed around October, said Peter Paggi, director of housing development for Windham & Windsor Housing Trust. He reported no major issues.
“We have a lot of interest in the apartments,” he said Wednesday during a tour, expecting units in the building to be leased out by the end of the year.
Paggi said those who are interested in living in Snow Block can call the housing trust at 254-4604 to get a rental application. The building is named after the housing trust’s founder and longtime executive director, Connie Snow, who retired at the end of 2017.
The first floor will include community space for the tenants. Paggi said a realtor is helping to find a commercial tenant to share the floor.
The upper floors will host apartments — six one-bedroom units, three two-bedroom units, and 14 “efficiency apartments,” which will be smaller than the others. Each unit will have its own central air conditioning through a heat pump system.
