Linden Grove at 223 Linden Street will be a 154-unit complex once finished, composed of studio and one-bedroom apartments. According to developer Gilbane Development Company, there will be 47 apartments set aside for formerly homeless seniors, 48 for those earning up to 30 percent of the Area Median Income (currently $29,670 for one person), and 59 for those earning up to 40 percent AMI (currently $39,560).
