Development Team Cuts Ribbon on First Two La Central Buildings

The development team for the five-building La Central project in the South Bronx cut the ribbon Wednesday on buildings A and B. The $334-million development within the Hub, the South Bronx’s retail and transportation center, is a partnership between the Hudson Companies, BRP Companies, ELH-TKC, Breaking Ground and Comunilife.

Along with nearly 500 units of new housing, the development features a new YMCA, a production studio for BronxNet and a fully programmed rooftop farm operated by GrowNYC as well as a mix of retail tenants. 

“Our vision for La Central—‘To leave no square foot unturned’—becomes reality starting today,” said Aaron Koffman, managing principal of the Hudson Companies. “With affordable housing powered by sustainable energy generation, community and educational space for all ages and vibrant recreational space for the neighborhood, La Central will be a hub within The Hub for the South Bronx community.”
