Organization Name: IMC Architecture DPC

Project Title: 289-299 East 161 St

Project Location: Bronx

Project Description:
289-299 East 161st, this development marks the introduction of high-quality residential living in this Bronx neighborhood, setting a new standard for comfort and style. This ambitious mixed-use project in Concourse Village seeks to redefine the visual landscape of a neighborhood in the midst of significant transformation. As Concourse Village evolves, our goal was to design a building that is not only distinctive but also resonates with the rich history of the area while embracing its promising future. Situated in an inclusionary housing district, this project faced intricate zoning challenges. Through a collaborative partnership with city officials, we navigated these complexities to ensure compliance with all regulatory standards. The result is a landmark structure that harmoniously integrates residential and retail spaces, poised to make a lasting impact on the community and elevate the neighborhood’s identity.

Community Impact:
The property dedicated 30% of its units to affordable housing, reflecting our commitment to creating an inclusive, mixed-income community. By integrating affordable units within the development, we aimed to support a diverse range of residents, providing housing opportunities that contribute to a balanced and thriving neighborhood. This initiative goes beyond merely increasing the housing supply; it plays an active role in enhancing economic stability and fostering social equity. Our approach recognizes the importance of inclusivity in development, ensuring that the community benefits from a sustainable, supportive environment where all residents can flourish.
