The developer behind a large New Haven multifamily project promised community members at least 10 percent of the building’s units would be set aside as affordable housing.

According to the New Haven Independent, Jeffrey Chung of the New York City-based Ironburgh Organization made the promise at a community meeting last week.

According to plans filed with the city of New Haven, Ironburgh plans 371 units in a six-story concrete-and-wood midrise building at 201 Munson St., buffered from houses next door by 21 townhomes. In total, the project will have a floor area ratio of 0.69, as much of the rear of the parcel will be covered by a dog park, parking lot and recreation lawn.

The building will contain 474 car parking spaces and 86 bicycle parking spaces. The building adjoins the Farmington Canal bike path.
