BRONX TIMES REPORTER, J BTR AN. 22-28, 2021 29
BY JASON COHEN
A project that will bring a
hotel and affordable housing
to Arthur Ave. received full
support from Community
Board 6 last night in a public
hearing ULURP vote.
Developer Harry Bajraktari
of Bajraktari Management
Corporation plans to
develop a 145 room hotel on
188th Street and Arthur Avenue
and a 7-story, 56-unit
residential building on 188th
Street and Hughes Avenue.
He has plans to rezone the
area from a residential zone
to mixed residential and
commercial zone.
Frank Franz, chairman of
the housing committee, feels
this will benefi t the neighborhood.
“I’m very pleased that
this project is going to be
done by someone in the community,”
Franz said. “It will
update the character of the
community.”
Not all of the attendees
agreed with Franz.
Resident Jose Padilla
feels there should be a moratorium
on development
until the pandemic is over.
According to Padilla, the hotel
is not good for CB 6 and
questioned if politics is involved.
Voting on massive changes
to a neighborhood must be
held in public forums where
people can attend in person
and share input with the developer,
he said.
“I feel this hearing should
be placed on hold,” he said. “It
is going to change the character
of the neighborhood.
It’s unfathomable that the future
of our community will be
here on Zoom.”
The project is now in the
hands of Borough President
