Story summary

Himmel + Meringoff Properties (H+M) and its joint-venture partner Affinius Capital are planning to sell a 7.4-acre property at 1601 Bronxdale Ave in the Bronx, near the planned new Parkchester/Van Nest Metro-North station. H+M acquired the site in 2019, and it has all necessary city approvals for six buildings covering up to 2.41 million square feet, including retail space, community facilities, and a plaza. Currently, the property is leased to industrial and commercial tenants generating cash flow from a 354,000-square-foot building with second-floor office space.

The project, estimated at around $1 billion, would create up to 2,300 apartments, potentially making it one of New York City’s largest fully-entitled housing developments. The changes in the site's use and scale were approved as part of the state and city’s plan to enhance public transportation access in the Bronx by adding new Metro-North stations.
