La Central, The Bronx's Catalytic Master Plan Begins Construction on Phase II







Quote:
Construction has now begun on phase two of The Bronx’s new 1.2 million-square-foot mixed-use development, La Central. This installment to the site’s intended total of 992 mixed-income affordable apartments will host 496 units across two buildings located at 556 and 600 Bergen Avenue in Melrose.
Along with the development team and community partners, New York City and New York State officials were in attendance at the groundbreaking ceremony last Friday, in celebration of their dedicated efforts to bring affordable housing and sustainable energy generation to the community.

Designed by FXCollaborative in collaboration with MHG Architects and Future Green Studio, the buildings will top out at 12 and 13 stories. Together, they will generate 250,000 watts of power through rooftop solar panels and will feature grey- and black-water recycling and natural gas-fired cogeneration.
The homes will range in size from studios to four-bedroom units, with just under half of the 496, or 220, designated as permanently affordable. Units will be available through a housing lottery, with maximum income limits ranging from $20,040 to $80,160 for individuals and $30,930 to $123,720 for a household of five.
