Two Buildings Top Out At La Central’s Sprawling Development In Melrose, The Bronx







Quote:
Construction has topped out on two buildings within La Central, a 1.1-million-square-foot development in the South Bronx. Designed in collaboration by MHG Architects, FXCollaborative, and Future Green Studio, the new structures represent the second phase of La Central’s three-phase masterplan.

Located at 556 and 600 Bergen Avenue in the Melrose neighborhood, the two buildings will contain 496 affordable residential units, a new 50,000-square-foot YMCA, a television studio for BronxNet, a GrowNYC-operated rooftop garden, and ground floor retail along Westchester Avenue.

Developers of the $335 million project include Hudson Companies, BRP Companies, ELH-TKC LLC, Breaking Ground, and Comunilife. Public and private financing for construction of these buildings arrived as a combination of City and State loan programs, more than $100 million in federal low-income housing tax credits from Wells Fargo, and more than $15 million in new market tax credits from Citibank and Dudley Ventures.

At the moment, the sheer scale of La Central establishes the project as one of the largest ongoing mixed-use construction projects in New York City. When complete, La Central will comprise five individual buildings.

Components include 992 affordable residences, 80,000 square feet of community facility space, a public park, and 25,0000 square feet of retail. The first phase, a supportive housing facility developed by Breaking Ground, will yield 161 units for formerly homeless veterans and New Yorkers with special needs. The building is scheduled to open next month. The third and final phase is expected to be completed in 2023, with an estimated construction cost of nearly $600 million.

With a focus on sustainability, more than 250,000 watts of power will be generated from photovoltaic panels located on building roofs. Green areas of the property include roof gardens, a 9,000-square-foot urban farm, and landscaping throughout.

Hudson Companies signs four new tenants at La Central

Quote:
The Hudson Companies has signed four new tenants at La Central, its affordable housing development at 556 and 600 Bergen Avenue in the Bronx.

The new tenants include a community-based café, a sit-down Mexican restaurant co-located with a slice shop, an organic grocer, as well as an operator for the 135-space on-site parking garage.

The leases, totaling 6,710 s/f and 36,904 square feet for the parking garage. “At a time when the entire city is struggling, the strong interest in La Central is a testament not only to the vibrant Melrose neighborhood but to The Bronx as a whole,” said Aaron Koffman, Principal of the Hudson Companies.

“These new tenants will help transform La Central into a neighborhood destination, bringing beloved Bronx businesses and needed amenities to the community. We look forward to welcoming residents to these exciting new spaces at La Central next year.”

La Central is being developed by a partnership of the Hudson Companies, BRP Companies, Kretchmer Companies, ELH-TKC LLC, Comunilife and Breaking Ground, together with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation & Development and the New York City Housing Development Corporation.

The new tenants include the Taste of The Bronx Cafè, an culinary partnership between Paul and Anthony Ramirez, owners of The Bronx Beer Hall in the Arthur Avenue Retail Market, and Rebecca Scott, founder of Sustainable Snacks, a Bronx-based natural foods company committed to promoting public health through better snacking. The community-focused café space will feature gourmet menus prepared by a rotating roster of borough-based chefs.

Metate Authentica Comida Mexicana, a Mexican restaurant based in Riverdale, will open a 3,000 s/f outpost on the ground floor of La Central. Metate, owned by Cecilio Ballinas, will also have a take-out pizza counter within the restaurant.

Hudson has also signed a 2,600 s/f lease with a small organic grocery, operated by Hamood A. Alsaedi, who owns six other stores in the New York City area. The grocery will stock fresh fruits and vegetables, smoothies and other healthy food options.

Zafar Majeed has signed on to manage the development’s 135 plus-space public parking lot. Open to the general public, the lot is not restricted to use by La Central’s tenants, meaning customers of La Central’s tenants as well as users from the surrounding area can park there.

The leases were co-brokered by Kathy Zamechansky at the KZA Realty Group and Steve Kaufman and Mia Abdou of RM Friedland.

These new tenants will join the YMCA, which has signed a 50,000 s/f lease in La Central Building A, and a BronxNet television studio in Building B. Overall, nearly 90 percent of the available retail space at La Central A & B has been leased.

Together the three phases of La Central comprise five individual buildings, which will include 992 affordable residences; a landscaped courtyard; 80,000 s/f of community facility space; a public park; 45,0000 s/f of retail; and a roof-mounted telescope to be controlled by the Bronx High School of Science.

626 Bergen Avenue, the first building completed at La Central and developed by Breaking Ground and Comunilife, opened in the summer of 2019 and created 161 apartments for formerly homeless veterans and New Yorkers with special needs as well as low-income residents.

The final phase is expected to be completed in 2023 and will contain approximately 350 affordable apartments at a range of income levels.

Ribbon cutting for La Central apartment buildings

June 25, 2021


Quote:
La Central, a development that will yield nearly 500 new affordable apartments to the South Bronx, a state-of-the-art YMCA and a BronxNet studio, held a ribbon cutting on June 16 for Buildings A and B.

The ceremony was hosted by the project’s development team, which is a partnership between The Hudson Companies, BRP Companies, ELH-TKC, Breaking Ground and Comunilife.

“A recovery for all of us requires investing in more and better housing so New Yorkers from all walks of life have an affordable place to call home,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said. “I’m thrilled for the residents of the South Bronx and look forward to the positive impact La Central will have on the community.”

Located at 556 and 600 Bergen Ave., the two buildings will bring 494 units of affordable housing to Melrose. Apartments at La Central range from studios to four-bedrooms and are affordable to residents earning between 30% and 130% of Area Median Income (AMI.)

Half of all apartments are earmarked for residents of Community Board 1, which includes the south Bronx neighborhoods of Mott Haven, Melrose and Port Morris. Additional apartments are set aside for municipal employees as well as disabled applicants.

Together the three phases of La Central comprise five individual buildings, which will include 992 affordable residences; a fully programmed interior landscaped courtyard; 80,000 square feet of community facility space; a public park; 45,000 square feet of retail and a roof-mounted telescope to be controlled by the Bronx High School of Science.

626 Bergen Ave., the first building completed at La Central and developed by Breaking Ground and Comunilife, opened in the summer of 2019 and created 161 apartments for formerly homeless veterans and New Yorkers with special needs as well as low-income residents. The final phase is expected to be completed in 2023 and will contain approximately 350 affordable apartments at a range of income levels.
