HUB Rehabilitation
The City is seeking proposals for the disposition and development of two parcels located within the Bronxchester Urban Renewal Area in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx. The sites are prominently located near the Hub, which is one of the Bronx’s busiest commercial and retail corridors and in close proximity to mass transit. Additionally, the Site is located within the Food Retail Expansion to Support Health (“FRESH”) program area , making it eligible for zoning and financial incentives to facilitate the construction of a full service grocery store. The sites are designated as Sites 7A and 7B and are located between East 149th Street, Brook Avenue, Westchester Avenue, and Bergen Avenue. Site 7A measures approximately 53,800 square feet and Site 7B measures approximately 58,000 square feet. The permitted uses under the Urban Renewal Plan include public and semi-public uses for Site 7A (i.e., community facilities, educational facilities, etc.) and commercial uses for Site 7B (i.e., full-service grocery store, retail, etc.).
NYCEDC plans to select a Developer on the basis of factors stated in the RFP which include, but are not limited to: the quality of the proposal, experience of key staff identified in the proposal, experience and quality of any subcontractors proposed, demonstrated successful experience in performing services similar to those encompassed in the RFP and the proposed fee.
