Bronx Point

Bronx Point is a 585,000-SF, mixed-use waterfront site comprised of 540 units of affordable housing, educational community facilities, commercial/retail spaces, and open space adjoining the Harlem River waterfront in the Lower Concourse North area of the South Bronx. The site was previously a paved asphalt lot used for temporary storage by city and state agencies and recently underwent a rezoning to add the parcel to the Special Harlem River Waterfront District. Langan provided waterfront services to create a resilient shoreline edge by removing an existing relieving platform and creating a more natural shoreline slope to reduce tidal energy as sea levels rise. Site/civil services included the design and permitting of underground utilities, two new stormwater outfalls to the Harlem River, and onsite layout and circulation. We developed a Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) application, a Remedial Investigation Program, and a Citizen Participation Plan. We prepared a CEQR Technical Memorandum for the Urban Development Action Area Program application.
