Pretty big news for the Bronx. Should get some attention as the project goes through the review process.

Largest remaining tract of land in the South Bronx will be the largest development in Southern Melrose once completed. In this panoramic image you can see the lots from the lots from the southern most portion just north of the 2/5 subway line as they emerge underground (right) and all the way north to 153rd Street where Brook meets Bergen Avenue at Via Verde (left) ============================ http://therealdeal.com/blog/2013/12/...tral-revealed/ http://www.welcome2thebronx.com/word...e-south-bronx/ |

With all the development in Brooklyn and Queens, I'm looking for the Bronx to see more action. Of course it won't be luxury apartments, but, there are plenty of people still looking for affordable housing in the city.

Some insight into the project and a overview of the Suth Bronx developments in the vicinity. All which should synergies once built.

my neck of the woods -- yep this has all been planned for a long time.
across the street from the triangle plaza development, which is under construction now and will mostly be a grocery store, is an another interesting long running rehab project, the old bronx opera house. the east side of it was converted to the opera house hotel thats already open. and just to the north everybody likes via verde, its cool looking and gives the bx some clean, modern looking pizzazz. |
seems like they only work mornings on the grocery plaza section on 149th st, between brook, bergen and westchester aves.
http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7llcezom.jpg nothing doing on the housing and tower section north of westchester ave as yet. edit -- here the handsome bx opera house renovation across the strert on 149th st that i mentioned above. http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/...psdeaegwgb.jpg http://www.operahousehotel.com/mobile.aspx |

^ thank you for finding the render and bringing this thread back to life.
i can report the lo-rise 149st triangle plaza grocery/shopping center building is built, but they are still very busy on site working to finish it up. nothing doing on the massive la central housing tower sites as yet. although we will hate all the ongoing construction -- those renders make me look forward to the la central project hopefully turning out as nice looking as via verde and the other newer housing further up and around melrose/boricua vertical college did. also looking forward to the reconstruction on the hub plaza at 149/3rd ave. its completely underused and its very busy around the hub area, so its perfect for fixing up into a nice pedestrian plaza. i think it will be called roberto clemente plaza and its supposed to be done by the end of this year. |

I'm happy for the borough. Gentrification done right, and lots of these developments are part of the affordable housing plan. Its going to add a new element to the river skylines as high rises pop up all over S.Bronx, and the adjacent Queens waterfront. It wouldn't at all surprise me if a new tallest for the borough is in the works. Time to eclipse the Harlem River Towers. Something over 410+ sounds reasonable in the next couple of years. |
from tuesday - here is construction on 3rd ave of the nearby hub pedestrian plaza

This will break ground Q2 of 2016. :tup:
Originally late 2015 but its been pushed. |
This is great for the Bx but the design of this complex does absolutely nothing for me and I'm leery that it won't age well at all. I wish they could just design something handsome and sturdy that won't look "flavor of the month" by 2030.

^ yeah its definately uninspiring, especially as compared to via verde just to the north, but its practical, solid and well needed infill.
despite the loss of parking (ha!) this is good news, i was wondering what the delay was. fwiw the A section is packing a lot into a small sliver of land right next to where the 2/5 train comes up out of the ground. currently it mostly parking lots. the only structure is a small old former post office/boxing gym. the other sections are a grassy triangle field across the street. there is some sort of perhaps pre-construction digging and work going on for this project in one small section already at bergen/149st. btw very nearby we also hear that a couple parking lots will be developed into a new police precinct bldg. this is at westchester ave/st. ann's. |
