^ haha -- good work taking advantage of the parking lot on the new grocery bldg roof!
there is a great article in the nytimes today that runs down all the current development action in the bronx -- here is the blurb about la central:
Similarly, the competition to build housing at a multi-lot site in the Hub, a Times Square-like store-filled intersection in the Melrose neighborhood, drew seven submissions. The winning bid was La Central, a five-building, 992-unit mixed-use project at Westchester and Brook Avenues.
Featuring a 50,000-square-foot Y.M.C.A. that will be only the second one in the Bronx, La Central will also have a rooftop telescope for a local school, a rooftop farm and a skate park, along with 45,000 square feet of new stores, including a sit-down restaurant in an area where there are few.
Approved in the fall, the $450 million project, which is still hammering out its public financing package, is expected to open its first phase in 2019.
