Services for the UnderServed Inc. (S:US) and Bronx Pro Group are partnering on an exciting redevelopment of an underutilized site located at 1600 Macombs Road in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx. The site is approximately .7 acres (31,000 feet) and was occupied by a former hospital operated by S:US as a residential treatment center. The proposed development utilizes the new R8-A zoning allowed by the Jerome Corridor Rezoning to create a mixed-use and mixed income campus to be developed in two phases with two buildings containing 570 new units of supportive and affordable housing connected by a one-story shared amenities bridge where common spaces and social service offices can be shared. The campus also includes 11,500 sf of publicly accessible open space, a rear yard and a passive recreation area for residents located on the second-floor terrace.

Phase II will be 219,560 sf with 244 units, of which 169 will be affordable to residents earning between 30%-80% AMI and 74 will be supportive housing units for single adults funded by a NYC 15/15 contract. One unit will be reserved for the superintendent. The building will include approximately 8,000 square feet of community facility space. Phases I and II will share amenities spaces and social service offices to maximize the project’s efficiency. Phase II will be financed through HPD and HDC’s ELLA Term Sheet in June 2024. The total development cost is estimated to be $172 million.
