Construction has officially topped-out at Bronx Commons, a highly anticipated development that will introduce a mix of affordable housing, a new music hall, retail tenants, and outdoor recreation space. The project is in The Bronx’s Melrose Commons, between East 162nd and ast 163rd streets, on the west side of Elton Avenue.
The development team behind Victory Plaza, a new 100% affordable senior housing project, has successfully closed on $65 million in construction financing to facilitate completion of the project. Located in Harlem at 11 West 118th Street, the building will eventually rise nine stories and comprise 136 rental homes. A total of 41 units will be reserved for the formerly homeless.
With a very small footprint at ground level, the COOKFOX-designed 41 West 23rd Street is starting to rise above a narrow construction site. The tower will stand 322 feet to its rooftop, totaling 25 stories, and featuring a cantilever in its upper half. Anbau Enterprises is the developer of the project, which previously received approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission due to its slight cantilever on the eastern elevation.
Developed in conjunction with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation, 1297 East New York Avenue will soon add a new, ten-unit, affordable residential building to Brownsville, Brooklyn.
In an exclusive reveal, YIMBY has received renderings of an impending four-story affordable housing development planned for 379-383 Howard Avenue, in Brownsville, Brooklyn. If approved, the development would repurpose a currently vacant, two-lot assemblage on the corner of Howard Avenue and Bergen Street.
