These 35 new three family homes were built under the New York City Housing Partnership program, sponsored by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (NYC HPD) with Nos Quedamos, a non-profit community organization, and Procida Realty and Construction Corp., a Bronx-based builder/developer. Located on 4 sites on the east and west sides of Elton Avenue between East 156th Street and East 159th Street, these buildings are 3 floors with a partially above-grade basement. The owner’s unit is a duplex on the 1st and 2nd floors with 2 rental units. Parking is located in the rear.
The architecture of the buildings has been developed through an ongoing design process with Nos Quedamos, filtered through the development experience of Procida Construction. These buildings were designed to reflect the more traditional buildings in the community with brick and cast stone, yet, as one of the first development projects in Melrose Commons, create a new context for future development.
