Jerome Avenue.
The development will result
in 175 units with a mixture
of studios, one-bedroom,
two-bedroom and three-bedroom
apartments. The rent
range of the units will be between
$843 to $2,088.
According to Bronx Pro
Group, the rents and incomes
are restricted to a diverse
range of income bands between
40 and 80 percent of the
area median income (AMI), as
well as units reserved for the
formerly homeless.
The fi rst fl oor will yield
nearly 14,000 square feet,
which will include about 7,000
square feet of ground-fl oor retail
and the other 7,000 square
feet of space for on-site social
services. Floors 2 through 16
will range from about 6,500 to
10,000 square feet due to several
setbacks incorporated
into the design.
The building will include
a laundry room and a fi tness
center, along with 24-hour security.
The developer has agreed
to landscape the East 176th
Street step street, which mitigates
the steep elevation
change between Jerome and
Davidson avenues.
For this project, Bronx
Pro Group will be partnering
up with Services for the UnderServed,
a NYC-based nonprofi
t social services organization.
BPG will also collaborate
will architectural fi rm Marvel
Architects on this development.
According to Bronx Pro
Group, the project will strive
to meet the highest, economically
feasible energy effi ciencies
while providing a brand
new activated street front
for pedestrians in line with
the NYC Department of City
Planning’s rezoning strategy.
“The proposed construction
will dramatically improve
the street front with
new ground fl oor retail along
Jerome Avenue, as well as provide
supportive and affordable
housing units along with
on-site social services,” said a
Bronx Pro Group spokesperson.
The construction site was
formerly occupied by the Jerome
Motel which was demolished
in December. Construction
is expected to begin at the
end of August, with completion
by December 2021.
This project compliments
the Jerome Avenue Neighborhood
Plan, a two-mile,
72-block rezoning process
which will result in more affordable
housing units, increased
employment opportunities
and other neighborhood
improvements.
