Renderings of Bronx Commons via Danois Architects
When Bronx Commons was announced in 2017, much excitement was generated over the 12-story, 305-unit mixed-use development Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation (WHEDco) and BFC Partners would bring to the undeveloped lot. More recently, an affordable lottery has been launched for 288 apartments in the new building (h/t 6sqft).
Individuals and households earning 30 to 110 percent of the area median income have until June 14, 2019 to apply for apartments ranging from $328/month studios to a $1,995/month three-bedroom. WHEDco also notes that a portion of apartments will be set aside for formerly homeless individuals and families, including survivors and victims of domestic violence. Residential amenities will include an on-site superintendent, community rooms, laundry rooms, a fitness center, outdoor space, and 36 parking places.
