The project, which is currently under construction, will result in the development of a new, modern library branch of approximately 21,000 square feet, combined with approximately 175 affordable apartments, Universal Pre-K classrooms, and community facility space. The City designated a development team, led by Community League of the Heights (CLOTH), The Children’s Village, Ranger Properties, Housing Workshop, and Alembic Community Development, to construct and operate the new building. The community is getting access to a temporary library space at 4857 Broadway during construction, and NYPL is providing all core services at the temporary site including circulation of materials, computer appointments, readers’ advisory, and reference. HPD and the development team reached a financial closing of the project on June 2021.


Dyckman Houses: On a site within NYCHA’s Dyckman Houses, NYCHA will engage with Dyckman residents on the planning of a new residential building and subsequent issuance of an RFP for the development of approximately 180-250 units of 100% affordable housing, in addition to space for community services. Such housing will include housing for seniors, subject to feedback from the Dyckman Houses residents and financing feasibility. There will be a 25% preference for NYCHA residents for all new affordable housing units, and NYCHA will encourage residents living in oversized homes in Dyckman Houses to apply for apartments in the new building, thus making new public housing units available. NYCHA will continue to engage residents of Dyckman Houses to identify detailed development goals and needed community services. In the course of the engagement process, NYCHA will work to identify priorities for improving campus amenities, including the playgrounds at Dyckman Houses.


DOT Bridge Repair Facility: The City will issue an RFP to redevelop the DOT bridge repair facility at West 206th Street for affordable housing. Development plans for the site will include DOT relocation to Fordham Landing (300 W Fordham Road - Block 3231, Lot 350), including reconstruction of the facility for DOT with the same square footage of DOT’s West 206th Street site and build-out for operations comparable to the West 206th Street site. In addition, the building will be elevated to allow the same square footage of staging, storage, and operations below. The development will be subsequent to the relocation of DOT services and is subject to any necessary Council and other land use approvals on the Fordham and Inwood sites. A study is underway to determine relocation needs, timeline, and cost; proceeding with procurement for a diving study. RFP timing must be after the relocation timeline, which is currently anticipated for the second half of 2022.


4095 Ninth Ave site is a new lot created by reconfiguring two existing irregularly shaped lots owned by the City and Charter Communications, and currently used as a parking lot. The City will issue an RFP for the development of this site, which will include approximately 570 units of affordable housing, in addition to an Inwood Innovation Hub focused on STEM Talent Solutions. The site will also include publicly accessible waterfront open space, as required by zoning. HPD completed the land swap transaction; the RFP release timeline is to be determined.

The Morrisania Diagnostic and Treatment Center Surface Lot: In December 2021, HPD announced selection of Type A Projects, L+M Development Partners, and BronxWorks as the development team. Their proposal for River Commons provides a mix of permanently affordable unit sizes, including family-sized units – a request from the community during the engagement process. The project includes two high-impact community facilities: The BronxWorks Empowerment Center will provide an extensive range of services for the community, including health and nutrition education, fresh food access, after school and summer camp programming, family support, eviction prevention, as well as job readiness, training, and employment services. As part of the development agreement, L+M is expected to exit the ownership structure at Year 5, offering its initial ownership stake to BronxWorks for a nominal fee. This results in long-term project ownership held by an M/WBE and Non-Profit.

Based on the scale of the planned work along the corridor, the City will delay any immediate changes to the street patterns and will collaborate with Metro North and local stakeholders on next steps.
