Our ideal ’hood
Construction junction
3. Boricua Village
A 4.5-acre parcel of land bounded by Elton and Third Aves and E 161st and 163rd Sts, Melrose, Bronx
Current siteExpected: 2010
What it brings to the neighborhood: Seven residential buildings with about 750 apartments, including 214 for low-income and 234 for middle-income tenants; a 14-story building that will serve as the Bronx campus of Boricua College; and about 40,000 square feet of retail space.
What it takes away: The construction site was formerly mostly vacant lots and empty commercial buildings owned by the city. But the Bronx Municipal Court Second District Building, deemed eligible for New York City Landmark designation, had to go too.

The Rockaways is experiencing a major redevelopment and for N.Y standard, is very cheap to rent and buy.
How are they even allowed to represent projects like the way this is depicted? The looming fake illustration makes the building look like it's in the middle of some suburban corporate campus, not the insanely dense and cluttered Queensboro Plaza area. That rooftop deck will seem cozy with the clatter and squeal of the #7 train 50 feet away. More absurdly placed, cheaply built habitats for Bloomberg's lemmings. I hope the building offers a permanent supply of Kool-Aid in its lobby Sub-Zero.
No mention of Atlantic Yards?! Really?!
