at last there is movement on this mega-project -- :tup:
per the project map above its on the A section south of westchester ave. -- this is the little silver next to where the 2/5 el train goes underground. the whole section, including former parking lots, is fenced off for construction and the old post office/boxing gym in the middle of the site is being torn down. i saw activity there yesterday and took a few pics. nothing happening yet on the other B,C,D,E sites north of westchester. http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psmfrv30pn.jpg http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psnrdmcwn0.jpg http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psbag5sjf8.jpg |
Thanks mrnyc for the update. This is a big project for the Bronx. Actually, I expect the Bronx to be the next major boom spot. More so than Brooklyn. Just watch and see. I predict Queens being the number one spot in terms of new units and permits, and the Bronx in time will be 2nd. This is one borough that will be the next hot place to be. The demand is moving North. We've seen it with Harlem, and now, with several waterfront Parcels in and around the S. Bronx. Those themselves will host 1000's of units. Lots of potential, especially as the affordable housing program continues to advance. Hopefully a new 421a plan passes. That will really aid Queens and Bronx developments.

building A of this project, on the narrow sliver of land next to the subway and fronting westchester ave, between bergen ave and brook ave, is definitely moving.
there is a small crew there every day now tearing up the parking lots and digging pits. this was from yesterday: http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psmxynlspl.jpg by the way, on the other side of this block and fronting 149st, the sort of preview project for la central is well built out and now is all or almost fully occupied with a great grocery and a pretty nice mix of businesses. you can park on the roof for free if you go in there for something. :cheers: from last week: http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psjo6j8ohc.jpg |

^ haha -- good work taking advantage of the parking lot on the new grocery bldg roof! :cheers:
there is a great article in the nytimes today that runs down all the current development action in the bronx -- here is the blurb about la central: Similarly, the competition to build housing at a multi-lot site in the Hub, a Times Square-like store-filled intersection in the Melrose neighborhood, drew seven submissions. The winning bid was La Central, a five-building, 992-unit mixed-use project at Westchester and Brook Avenues. Featuring a 50,000-square-foot Y.M.C.A. that will be only the second one in the Bronx, La Central will also have a rooftop telescope for a local school, a rooftop farm and a skate park, along with 45,000 square feet of new stores, including a sit-down restaurant in an area where there are few. Approved in the fall, the $450 million project, which is still hammering out its public financing package, is expected to open its first phase in 2019. much more bx news here: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/03/r...ttom-well&_r=0 |

very good la central news — its well underway. however, where they started is a bit surprizing. instead of A as i would have guessed, its D at 152nd/bergen. the whole northern section is fenced off and an active construction site — so C and E will probably be next. lots A and B are ready to go, but remain forelorn at the moment. from today — here is bldg D: http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psxxwfh6md.jpg http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psvpjtwotj.jpg |

here is a la central update from today
very active site and progress on the D building http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psi6akxqth.jpg http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psbsguohfw.jpg also, the next southern section, between 152nd & westchester, for the B building, is now also fenced off for construction & the crew was poking around there, but no digging yet. south of that the A section remains dormant for now. this is bergen/westchester http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psipp2t7t3.jpg |
more good news — they are now actively digging up the foundation of the B building section today on westchester between bergen & brook.
also, the D building already under construction is now about 7 floors i think and quite prominent. no pics today sorry — |
more news — this massive project is now fully underway for all sections.
crews were hard at work yesterday digging up the plot for B building. also, they were blocking off the southside side of westchester ave between brook and bergen in order to set up a staging area for building A. http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psy9f6agrk.jpg http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psqcnnta62.jpg http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...ps64mqdddb.jpg there is some movement on the lot for the new multipurpose police precinct/community center nearby at 149st/st anns as well, but no construction yet. |

hard to see below but they were really digging away on the B site lot today and boy the construction fencing has gotten pretty hardcore around the sites now.
http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psceswded1.jpg the southern A building site is blocked off into the street on westchester and bergen. http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5smfvnbx.jpg there are nice renders up for each structure too, this is A. http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psrsbihqms.jpg |
