Falcon Trace of Halfmoon Planned Development District (PDD) is situated on two parcels that total 60.01 acres. The proposed development is a mixed use residential and commercial PDD focusing primarily on affordable senior housing. The first portion of the PDD includes an adult congregate living apartment building that will consist of four wings with three stories each totaling 123 units overall. Each of the four wings is proposed to be connected by a central community center.

The northeastern portion of the site includes three separate apartment buildings intended for more independent senior living. Each building has 11 units each for a total of 33 units overall. The southern area of the PDD consists of luxury apartments open for lease to the general public with no minimum age requirements. Two commercial lots are also proposed as part of the PDD. Potential future developments of these will coincide with the intent of the underlying commercial zoning district. Outdoor amenities available to all residents of the PDD include a bus stop, shuffle board, walking trails, several outdoor gathering areas, a putting green and picnic areas.

Components of the site design include roadways, parking, grading, landscaping, pedestrian circulation, municipal water extension, municipal sewer extension and stormwater management. The involved agencies for the project included the Town of Halfmoon, NYSDEC, NYSDOT, SCSD, USACOE, NYSOPRHP and NYSDOH. Lansing Engineering has designed this high quality mixed use PDD to include commercial space and luxury apartments while focusing primarily on providing affordable housing to meet the distinctive needs and demands of the local and regional senior demographic.
