The newest episode of the Affordable Housing Podcast is now available. In this episode, Membership and Operations Senior Associate Allison Ward speaks to the New York City Housing Development Corporation to talk about their award-winning project, 425 Grand Concourse. Joining Allison is Eric Enderlin, President of NYCHDC.
The development of 425 Grand Concourse is a success story that exemplifies what can be accomplished when innovative and committed partners, elected officials and local leaders work in concert to create community focused solutions that not only repurpose under-utilized and/or vacant sites, but more importantly, create a development that addresses critical issues such as affordability, sustainability and addressing the diverse needs of a community.
Located in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the south Bronx, this newly constructed, cutting edge, mixed-use, mixed-income, 26-story, 277-unit tower has emerged on the Grand Concourse on a 29,000-square foot site that was formerly home to the renowned, but structurally unsound, Public School 31. A site that provided education for a generation, is now repurposed to serve the community by providing, housing, open space, and community services including education, health care, a supermarket and a cultural center.
