Building of the Day: Bronx Point

Bronx Point is a transformative, community-oriented, mixed-use development that will bring dynamic commercial/retail and community facility uses, affordable housing to the South Bronx. The project seeks to reconnect neighbors to the Harlem River waterfront through a new waterfront esplanade and park expansion and encourages community interaction via a cultural anchor of deep local resonance—a dedicated home to The Hip Hop Museum to attract local guests and global supporters of Hip Hop culture.

S9 Architecture's façade design uses building materials that are contextual, utilizing various bricks, stones, metals, and concrete materials on both the tower and podium with fine grained materials used on the podium. Marvel leads Bronx Point’s landscape design and planning, creating usable waterfront space with 18 contiguous acres of green space, and addressing issues of community access, programming, safety and resiliency at the water’s edge.
