There is a rendering on the architects website.
Thanks for the tip! Lots of good stuff—I like their style!
Honestly affordable housing is both good and needed..but the ‘car repair ‘row’ photo here is so great..”Bumper House, Flat Fix”, etc. Will be a bit sad to see it go.
For much of its length, Jerome Ave. was noted for its abundance of auto-related businesses. The elevated #4 train runs on this street and I hope the new residential buildings have good soundproofing.
Hello,
I’ve read your posting of the new Jerome Avenue development in the Bronx.
Sounds very good so far, however, what will be the asking rents for a 1 bedroom apartment,and studios as well.
I see this is listed as a 100% LOW INCOME DEVELOPMENT 🤔
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,
M. BOSTICK
No park nearby, El above, Cross Bronx Expy two blocks away. Awful site. NYC continues to solidify a Bronx low income ghetto.
I would like to know how I can apply for 1 bedroom apt.
Thanks
