Douglaston Development has topped out construction at 2856 Webster Avenue, the first phase of a new affordable housing complex in The Bronx. The building is located in the Bedford Park neighborhood and will comprise 188 units of affordable senior housing, a 12,000-square-foot Cherry Valley supermarket, and a community facility offering on-site social services.
The residential component will be reserved for individuals and households at 50 percent Area Median Income. The community facility will be operated by Fordham Bedford Community Services, a nonprofit organization founded by the Fordham Bedford Housing Corporation that serves underrepresented families in the Northwest Bronx.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate this topping out milestone as we continue moving closer to delivering the Bronx community a much-needed senior affordable housing option,” said Jeffrey E. Levine, Founder and Chairman of Douglaston Development. “We look forward to continuing our work alongside all project and community partners as we bring Phase I to fruition and embark upon Phase II.”
Levine Builders, the general contracting and construction management affiliate of Douglaston Development, is leading project construction. The first phase is expected to debut in March 2023.
Phase II of the two-phase project, located at 410 Bedford Park Boulevard, will deliver affordable rental units for families with ground floor retail space.
