My NYC Black Folk......Gentrification

[DMGAINGREEN]

The South Bronx is about to experience an unprecedented construction boom, and the Chetrit Group and Somerset Partners have jumped on the bandwagon by filing new building applications for two 25-story towers at 101 Lincoln Avenue and 2401 3rd Avenue in Mott Haven.

101 Lincoln will be the larger of the two buildings, spanning 784,176 square feet. It will host 747,729 square feet of residential space, 33,260 square feet of retail, and a 3,200-square-foot community facility. A restaurant will occupy the cellar and ground floor, topped by 24 stories of apartments. There will be 826 apartments, and units will average just over 900 square feet.

Each floor will hold anywhere from seven to 63 apartments, and residents will have access to shared roof decks on the fourth and fifth floors. The structure will reach 210 feet into the air, yielding relatively low, eight-foot ceiling heights.

Meanwhile, the 199-foot-tall building at 2401 3rd Avenue will have 370 apartments divided across 339,578 square feet of residential space. Average units will be slightly larger, roughly 918 square feet. The cellar and first floor will have 2,256 square feet of retail (part of the restaurant) and 2,900 square feet for a community facility.

Together, the two buildings will have 589 parking spaces, spread between underground garages, first and second floors. The development will have far more parking than residential zoning requires, but we suspect the other retail tenant might be a grocery store or something else that calls for lots of parking.

Goldstein Hill and West are the architects of record.

Chetrit and Somerset picked up the 133,000-square-foot plot at 101 Lincoln for $32 million in December, and then paid $26 million for the 127,000-square-foot site at 2401 Third Avenue.

The two properties bookend the Third Avenue Bridge along the Harlem River waterfront. The Lincoln Avenue site sits east of the bridge, hemmed in by Bruckner Boulevard and the bridge approach to the north. And the Third Avenue building will rise just west of the bridge, on a lot bounded by the Major Deegan Expressway and several other industrial properties.

Another 25-story tower will rise next door at 198 East 135th Street, and two more large market-rate projects are in the works nearby on Gerard Avenue and East 132nd Street.

The only way hipster cacs will be able to ever coexist in mott haven in harmony is if they do demolition on all the project buildings surrounding them , until then seeing that I personally know alot of cats from Mott Haven , they're going to get robbed faithfully

Touching white people is a big no-no. I doubt it breh. But if so, I hope they enjoy Rikers.

Why I got a feeling they probably boutta incorporate security nikkas around the whole premises to ensure they don't get touched in any shape or form

The city is going to be leaving messages in both English and Spanish for residents of the Mott Haven and Sack Wern Houses in the Bronx as well as the Brownsville Houses in Brooklyn, a NYCHA spokeswoman said.The effort is unlikely to result in collection of the full $50 million the authority is owed in back rent, because nearly 70 percent of the rent payments now in arrears are currently in litigation. Residents are most likely to fall behind on rent payments in December and January, and although residents can face eviction if they are delinquent on payments, that process can be long and drawn out.

City prepares rent-collection robocalls to NYCHA residents

Meanwhile NYCHA keeps crumbling and piling on debt.

Starbucks on 161st & Morris Ave... I didn't see this one coming.

Melrose and the surrounding area is experiencing a boom in cafes.

Starbucks is gearing up to open its first official South Bronx location in Melrose on 161st Street at Concourse Village East/Morris Avenue at The Melrose Building in a neighborhood and corridor where two cafes are slated to open and The Bronx Museum’s XM Cafe (that will be serving up The Bronx’s own Morris Perk’s ‘Bronx Blend’) is opening any day now.

260 E 161st Street aka The Melrose Central Building has undergone major capital improvements and redevelopment over the past years and the ground floor space which was once indoor office spaces were turned into retail, some of which are two levels. The redevelopment opened up the ground floor of the building to the public as well as livening up an otherwise what was a dead zone along the edifice.

BOOM!Cafe at BOOM!Health’s new headquarters at Brook Avenue and 161st Street is scheduled to open up sometime in January and WHEDco along with the Bronx Musical Heritage Center, which is slated to break ground on their new building, Bronx Commons, soon, is working on also opening a cafe once they’re up and running in their new space a few years down the road.

The world is made up with more than hipsters , it could be working class Spanish or Indians or even Asians . I hope it's some black business owners preparing to make money of this opportunity .
