Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Held For 19-21 East 198th Street in Bedford Park, The Bronx

 

Construction is complete on 19-21 East 198th Street, two conjoined residential buildings in Bedford Park, The Bronx. Designed by Angelo Ng + Anthony Ng Architects and developed by AG holdings Group, the complex consists of 19 East 198th Street with 99 apartments and 21 East 198th Street with 67 units. Thirty-four of the 166 units are designated as affordable housing, and 20 parking spaces are available for rent to residents of both buildings. The 112-foot-tall structures are located between Jerome and Creston Avenues.

The property was formerly occupied by five three-story residential buildings, as seen in the below Google Street View image from before their demolition.

The affordable units are designated under New York State’s 485-x Affordable Neighborhoods Program for households earning up to 80 percent of the area median income (AMI), or roughly $122,000 for a family of three.

The nearest subways from the development are the 4 train at the Bedford Park Boulevard–Lehman College station, and the B and D trains at the Bedford Park Boulevard station.

A certificate of occupancy for 19-21 East 198th Street is expected later this month.
