HPD ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT TEAMS TO BUILD 770 UNITS OF NEW MIXED-USE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT THREE SITES IN SOUTH BRONX
New York, NY - New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Commissioner Rafael E. Cestero announced today the selection of the developers who will construct mixed-use affordable housing on the last large city-owned tracts of land in the Melrose Commons North Urban Renewal Area (URA), the same neighborhood that became notorious for massive private-sector disinvestment and arson during the 1970s. The developers were chosen through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP). Phipps Houses Group was selected to build approximately 216 units of lower-income housing for Site A, Blue Sea Development and WHEDCo were chosen to build approximately 290 mixed-income units on Site B, and the team of CPC Resources, The Briarwood Organization and The Bridge will develop RFP Site C with a total of appropriately 257 units of affordable housing.
