Work has begun on 2868 Webster Avenue in Bedford Park, The Bronx, the second phase of a two-phase mixed-use development. The 12-story, 250,000-square-foot building will sit adjacent to the New York Botanical Gardens. Developed by Douglaston Development in collaboration with the Jericho Project, components include 277 affordable housing units, 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, on-site social services, and residential amenities.
The 277 units will be available in a mix of studios, one-, two- and three-bedrooms to households earning up to 70 percent of the area media income, with 60 residences designated as supportive housing. Amenities include laundry facilities, a fitness center, on-site parking, and a green roof. The retail component is anticipated to be combined with the 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space in Phase I to create a single 20,000-square-foot space for fresh food neighborhood grocer, Cherry Valley Marketplace.
Demolition wrapped up last month on the site. Construction is expected to be completed in 2027. The first phase of the development project, a 188-unit affordable senior housing building at 2850 Webster Avenue, was delivered in the fall 2023.
