At the very end of Bloomberg’s term as mayor, the city unveiled plans to transform a vacant city-owned tract in the Melrose neighborhood of the South Bronx into a million-square-foot affordable housing complex known as La Central. Now a new building application has been filed for the first part of the project, a nine-story supportive housing development at 626 Bergen Avenue.
Earlier this month, YIMBY brought you news of Hudson Companies’ planned 39-unit affordable building at 1045 Fulton Street, in southern Clinton Hill, and now Curbed has renderings of the project, designed by Marvel Architects. Renderings depict an eight-story building, although applications have not yet been filed with the DOB. The site has been cleared of former buildings.
Stagg Group has filed applications for a 13-story, 61-unit affordable housing development at 2051 Ryer Avenue, in Tremont. The structure will measure 44,860 square feet, and each rental-sized unit will measure an average 735 square feet. Mohammad Badaly’s Badaly Architects is the architect of record, and the existing 3,350 square-foot, two-unit apartment building must first be demolished.
Last week, we talked to Joshua Weissman of JCAL Development about his market-rate projects in the South Bronx, and now we have a rendering of his affordable building underway at 950 Summit Avenue, near Yankee Stadium in Highbridge.
Hudson Companies has acquired the development site spanning 1041-1047 Fulton Street, in southern Clinton Hill, for $7.2 million. According to Brownstoner, the developer plans to build a 39-unit all-affordable building designed by Marvel Architects. The site’s previous owners filed permits last year for a six-story market-rate building, but new applications are impending. The property’s former two- and three-story buildings were demolished last November.
