Located in the Soundview area of the Bronx, this new mixed-use Passive House development helps to revitalize this portion of Westchester Avenue, providing urgently needed workforce and affordable housing. Adjacent to an elevated railway, the 12-story building has 249 apartments, a suite of residential amenities on the 11th floor, and ground floor uses including an afterschool program, an urgent care clinic, and a pharmacy. A roof terrace and landscaped courtyard provide outdoor recreation spaces for residents. The project is also participating in Enterprise Green Communities Initiative and the NYSERDA Commercial New Construction Program.
