partially topped out on 315 Grand Concourse, a 13-story residential building in Mott Haven Designed by Fischer Makooi Architects for Beitel Group the 134-foot-tall structure will span 192,026 square feet and yield 240 rental units with an average scope of 770 square feet as well as 7,040 square feet of commercial space The property is located on a triangular parcel bound by Grand Concourse Recent photos show the main volume of the reinforced concrete superstructure built to its pinnacle on the southern half of the plot Exterior work is progressing behind a dense assembly of scaffolding and construction netting excavation and foundations are still ongoing for the secondary volume of the building on the northern corner of the lot this component could potentially top out in late spring or early summer The property was formerly occupied by a low-rise commercial building as seen in the following Google Street View image from Grand Concourse The main rendering shows the rear western elevation along Walton Avenue depicting the main bulk of the project that has already topped out The building features a multifaceted massing with stepped setbacks on the northern half and an expansive terrace at the 11th story of the southern end The façade is composed of various shades of gray metal paneling along with what appears to be white brick The northern volume that has yet to rise above street level is absent from the rendering and its dimensions and appearance remain unclear The nearest subways from the development are the 4 and 5 trains at the 138th Street-Grand

Facebook Follow YIMBY’s Twitter for the latest in YIMBYnews The lower Grand Concourse rezoning should have allowed for buildings double this size But the community cannot support the massive influx of residents There isn’t even a local supermarket So we should advocate for less investment and less people because there currently isn’t a supermarket in close proximity We still need a supermarket close by right on grand concourse This area is one of the best in the city for a significant increase in population It’s well served by the subway and has numerous buses It’s geographically close to Midtown And there are several supermarkets in this area New ones could always occupy commercial space in the base of the buildings A super market is coming under the first new building No disrespect but that’s not how businesses work A local supermarket isn’t going to open if it thinks people in the area won’t buy from them or can’t afford to In order to get things like nice grocery stores is to have an influx of residents with disposable income It’s not politically correct – but it is the reality of how US society works Uhh… a C Town supermarket is opening a block north of this site at 425 Grand Concourse They signed a 15 year lease earlier this month No disrespect but how well do you actually know the area To say there isn’t a locally supermarket is incorrect There’s a MASSIVE Food Bazaar nearby that rivals your Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s with options including Dry Aged Steaks There’s a Western Beef a few blocks in another direction as well Not to mention a few smaller ones scattered around the Mott Haven which this building is located in Not having a local supermarket in the area is just one of many things a small community lacks as I also live in a small community and know what happens when a large amount of residents suddenly move into it They recently built a 500-apartment unit right across the street from me and there are no major stores or even a hospital in my area Not only did rent jump up on everyone already living here who’ve lived here 4 or more generations started moving out I have to take a bus into the next town to get anything done including food shopping The roads and sidewalks have been ripped up several times to beautify the area causing terrible traffic and fixing outdated pipes after realizing they were much too small to accommodate the additional waste from 500 additional residents They planned for years to build this complex but did not plan for the effects on the town They are also trying to introduce weed and vape shops in the area and this is a very family oriented environment No one advocated for it but the town council received a gracious donation from the weed shop owners.This is literally your one-church town where everybody knows everybody and we look out for our neighbors and kids No one really heard of our town or even cared too much about it because it was considered “boring” We don’t even have enough schools in our small district to support an influx of inner city kids We don’t have zoning laws that support super structures either The commuter schedules and routes changed just to accommodate the new residents who commute to work in NYC that New Yorkers are being displaced from the City they are looking for new areas to start over from their new arrival means displacing everyone else Communities shouldn’t be destroyed just to accommodate somebody else who strong-arm their way into our neighborhoods Investments only profit the few who are already rich or looking for another term in office and don’t care about the existing community and don’t include building affordable homes with their luxury home projects More people also means more crime in the area they move into We have seen all the unfavorable changes and have even heard of the complaints of the new tenants who are baffled at why they are paying so much to live in an area that offers so little These new tenants are from the City and not used to the simplicity small towns are known for all because of the disparity of our incomes I think it is a very selfish system of greed and it hurts a lot of good hardworking people who just want to raise their families in quiet safe areas they grew up in and can still afford Not sure where you live but most likely the people who live in your community probably had grandparents (or older) who were NYC residents and moved there The largest migration being “white flight” from the city I don’t like weed shops but let’s not pretend suburban people haven’t been smoking weed (and using hard drugs) all along They just would go to the urban areas to buy Suburban clients have always been very lucrative to the drug trade The comment brings up a question I have had Supermarkets have large footprints and thus vulnerable for redevelopment They are mostly turned into chain drugstores or apartment buildings Neither are nearly as beneficial to the neighboorhood as the grocery store was You have to feel badly for seniors who cant uber over to trader joes or whole foods Maybe we need to establish a new zoning just for supermarkets to combat this alarming trend Have better minds than mine addressed this Is it impossible to build Architecture in the Bronx there’s is a BJS in the area .A mall there too also food bazaar also in that mall 153 rd street.The Bronx is still the boggie down Also supermarkets deliver for free just leave a tip It’s a short walk for a healthy person to Gateway Mall This strangely reminds me of Bronx State and Jacobi hospitals near where I used to work in the east Bronx It has a massive institutional appearance It will be the area of present generation in 2025 or the 1990s with a long line of this leading-edge buildings: Thanks This is an upcoming community which is near public Transportation… Looking forward to hearing more about this project and when will this project be finished … Facade Illusions – The exterior may be designed to look grander with decorative elements that make it seem larger than it is Just because a unit looks big on the outside doesn’t mean it’s spacious inside—especially for set-aside units One thing all these HPD properties have in common is that they’re selling amenities and the gym fees are higher than Planet Fitness These units tend to be much smaller because they’re subsidized to maximize profits especially if tenants don’t pay into the amenities I’d be shocked if set-aside units are anywhere near as large as market-rate ones—there’s no incentive for them to be They’re classified as “low-income” units but that doesn’t necessarily mean tenants earn less than the Area Median Income (AMI); the way “low income” is calculated for set-aside units is completely different This is the economics of HPD: profiting off low-income housing while claiming to address homelessness They’ve figured out how to guarantee income through rental assistance but that shouldn’t come at the cost of livability for low-income residents who can’t even afford the gym ga('send', 'event', 'beautyofblock', 'Impression', 'https://newyorkyimby.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Standard_336x280-100-2.jpg', {

that a mentally ill person has made in the toilet: Thanks Wicked was only released a couple of months ago This area was considered somewhat of a slum years back I’m not sure of the demographic this is geared toward I’ve been away from The Bronx for many years Area still has many quality of life issues but this location is isolated from the residential core of the neighborhood This corridor is starting a new and transforming from an industrial location into a mixed use community To attract new residents to the area who have more disposable income So people can stop calling the South Bronx

America Jesus Cabrera, a/k/a “Gee,” was sentenced on Tuesday, Jan. 14, to 30 years in prison for leading a drug trafficking ring that sold deadly fentanyl in The Bronx, federal prosecutors said. As reported Cabrera previously pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and fentanyl analogue The drug ring’s products were also recovered from the scenes of seven other fatal fentanyl poisonings in 2021 The 40th southernmost precinct in the borough of the Bronx serves Port Morris attorney for the Southern District of New York “Jesus Cabrera led a drug trafficking organization that sold enormous amounts of deadly fentanyl in New York City which led to the deaths of at least eight victims in The Bronx in 2021 and affected countless others in our community Today’s sentence and those imposed to date on Cabrera’s co-conspirators send a loud message to fentanyl traffickers that their actions will be met with dire consequences in this District.” and the career prosecutors and investigators of this Office who have worked tirelessly to hold accountable those who seek to flood our community with this deadly drug and to profit from addiction and tragedy.” between 2019 and February 2022 approximately the drug ring operated principally on a block on 142nd Street between Brook Avenue and St Ann’s Avenue in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx (the “Set”) where the drug ring’s members sold fentanyl glassines in bulk to dealers who then re-distributed it on the Set and in other areas of The Bronx Members of the drug ring also sold individual glassines of fentanyl to users struggling with addiction who lined up on the Set on an almost daily basis Cabrera was the undisputed leader of the ring a/k/a “Miz,” worked as Cabrera’s second in command managing and overseeing the drug ring’s various street-level dealers including the other defendants charged in this case packaged their product in residential apartments for distribution on the Set They then relied on a roster of street-level dealers to push massive amounts of its deadly product into the community the drug ring distributed an estimated five to six kilograms of fentanyl per month resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit for the ring members The drug ring frequently used a signature “stamp” on the glassines of fentanyl it sold a step Cabrera took to continue making money at the expense of the victims and families affected by the ring’s drug dealing and the opioid epidemic across the country the ring stamped its glassines with a “Supreme” logo Despite Cabrera’s awareness of the potential deadly impact of fentanyl he and the other ring members continued pushing their product when Cabrera was asked by another ring member whether people were overdosing from their product one of Cabrera and Amaya’s co-defendants sold a quantity of loose Supreme-stamped glassines to an individual on the Set (“Individual-1”) who subsequently provided one of those glassines to Rahman Rahman died from an overdose shortly after ingesting the substances in the Supreme-stamped glassine the residue of which later tested positive for Both Cabrera and Amaya were directly involved in overseeing Concepcion’s narcotics sales at that time in the days leading up to Rahman’s fatal overdose Cabrera and Amaya exchanged text messages referencing certain quantities of narcotics that were going to Concepcion for resale on the Set as well as the cut of the over $110,000 in recent drug ring proceeds they were going to provide to Concepcion between in or around March 2021 and in or around December 2021 there were at least eight confirmed fatal overdoses in The Bronx at which the drug ring’s Supreme-stamped glassines were found on the scene of The Bronx was

Street, the site of a two-tower residential complex in Mott Haven Designed by Hill West Architects and developed by The Lightstone Group under the 355 Exterior Street Associates LLC the 720,785-square-foot project will yield 714 rental units with an average scope of 777 square feet as well as 10,630 square feet of commercial space and 325 enclosed parking spaces The taller of the two towers will rise 437 feet making it the tallest structure in the South Bronx and in the borough and taking the title away from River Park Towers that stands 428 feet tall The property is located along the Harlem River near the intersection of Exterior and Gerard Streets Recent photographs show several excavators and piling rigs at work across the site as crews begin to prep the land for the forthcoming foundations Some mounds of concrete rubble remain from the slab of the low-rise commercial building that formerly occupied the property The developers purchased the property from Verizon for $59 million in cash and filed permits for the former occupant’s demolition in September 2019 The main rendering looks east at 355 Exterior Street from the Harlem River showing the towers rising from a shared multi-story podium and connected by a smaller mid-rise volume While no floor count or measurements have been revealed for the shorter of the two towers its scale relative to its taller sibling suggests a roof height of approximately 300 feet The towers will feature uniform façades of floor-to-ceiling windows framed by earth-toned paneling and landscaped terraces are shown topping the expansive podium and roof parapets of the towers The nearest subways from the development are the 4 and 5 trains at the 138th Street-Grand Concourse station to the southeast 355 Exterior Street’s anticipated completion date is slated for spring 2026 Design does not have to be “adventurous” to be good If these turn out like the renderings they will be a handsome timeless addition to the waterfront What’s really adventurous is how they made the rest of the South Bronx disappear on the renderings Surprisingly good news to see an update on this I thought the project had been shelved after the failure to gentrify Mott Haven There was a lull in new construction but they seem determined to build even bigger down there Between these tall towers and the massive Fordham Landing upstream they will be capitalizing on the Harlem River Greenway “There was a lull in new construction…” it seems like there haven’t been any major new projects being announced so it’s still part of that first wave of development alongside the towers on the Bruckner The only new project I had in mind was Fordham Landing but I just found an article literally published today that said the property was going to be foreclosed The pre foreclosure action is only on the 2nd phase of Fordham Landing (North) There is nonstop luxury construction going on A new just finished on Bruckner next to the Willis Ave bridge Right near this site one just finished on 144th Another just about to finish on Gerard Ave and twin buildings going up on the Concourse by 138 Not sure how you don’t see these going on Located on a clean waterfront with no floating weeds and see the bushes at 300 feet high make us love the forest more: Thanks Nice to see the Bx development it’s definitely very underrated!! It’s like polished up mid-century public housing How many millions will be spent for 325 parking spaces that could have been additional housing units A lot of people who can pay the high rents that this will be – can afford nice cars – and don’t want to park them on the street “Gentrification” is bypassing Harlem Only the Northern part of East and Central Harlem The rest of Harlem is definitely gentrifying gentrification just consuming the existing apartments instead of being diverted to new buildings We need more very large housing developments like this around the city It makes so much sense in this area especially to build big Why is ‘gentrification’ bypassing eastern and central Harlem Cuz they don’t speak up for themselves in the Bronx Fordham Landing is split between North and South The litigation on foreclosure by Blackstone is one Phase 2 Would not want to take the walk from trucker blvd to the 138 st subway passing the projects at certain times of thr day and night.THATS THE HOOD There is even a Wyndham hotel right there and you will see tourists using that station Best part is the city is building a new park on the lot just to the north Parking spots have been eliminated by Citi-Bikes and the fact that NYC has hundreds of thousands more people with cars Only other issue is sometimes the cost is equivalent to paying rent for a apartment 🙁 By: 7:00 am on March 1 The affordable housing lottery has launched for 91 Bruckner Boulevard, a seven-story residential building in Mott Haven Wieder Architect and developed by Anshel Fridman of Artist Construction LLC Available on NYC Housing Connect are 27 units for residents at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI) ranging in eligible income from $125,520 to $218,010 Amenities include a garage with an electric vehicle charging stations Tenants are responsible for electricity including stove and heat there are 13 one-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $3,661 for incomes ranging from $125,520 to $181,740 and 14 two-bedrooms with a monthly rent of $4,376 for incomes ranging from $150,035 to $218,010 Applications must be postmarked or submitted online no later than April 28 Is this another JCS Realty take over buying everything and anything in the area and destroying the frantic of Mott haven with their awful construction and constant land grab and money stealing from the poor Jacob Schwimmer is land grabbing faster than certain nations will the tenant be able to cover the electricity bill
