Members of the Multi-Residential Housing Group at Cohen Highley work tirelessly on behalf of nonprofit housing organisations, including the Vision SoHo Alliance Project. The Visions SoHo Alliance Project is the combined effort of six London nonprofits, to build a 680-unit development on the site of two heritage buildings on the former Old Victoria Hospital campus, which will include more than 300 new, affordable or below-market, rental units.
