Development Team Breaks Ground on Final Stage of Bronx’s La Central

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, BRP Companies, Hudson Companies, J.P. Morgan and project partners recently broke ground on Phase II of the La Central housing development to bring 420 new affordable homes to the Melrose neighborhood of the Bronx. Phase II will encompass a range of unit types from studios to four-bedroom apartments, along with 63 supportive housing units.

The new phase is expected to cost $343 million, with the Adams administration contributing more than $137 million through the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development. Phase II will also include 13,000 square feet of community facility space, 1,500 square feet of retail space, and 7,000 square feet of new public gardens.

This second phase marks the final stage of the La Central project, which will create a total of more than 1,000 mixed-income homes along with a YMCA, a production studio and extensive green space.
