Financing was recently secured for Renova West, a 19-story affordable and supportive housing development at 860 Concourse Village East in Morrisania, The Bronx. Designed by Aufgang Architects and Developed in partnership between Gilbane Development, the Institute for Community Living (ICL), Tredway, the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), and the Housing Development Corporation (HDC), $193 million project will deliver 266 affordable apartments. The structure will also include a 7,000-square-foot ICL Bronx Health Hub designed to expand access to integrated physical and behavioral healthcare, and will be engineered to Passive House standards and target LEED Platinum certification.
Apartments at Renova West will be offered in configurations ranging from studios to three-bedrooms. One-hundred sixty of the units will be supportive housing reserved for formerly homeless individuals and those with behavioral health needs. Additionally, the project will feature on-site social services from ICL, community rooms, indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, and a landscaped courtyard. Property management will be on-site to ensure operations and tenant support.

A central component of the project is the ICL Health Hub, which will provide trauma-informed, integrated care for residents and the broader community. Services will include behavioral health counseling, housing support, care coordination, and access to social and medical resources.
The closest subways from Renova West are the 2, 4, and 5 trains at the 149 St–Grand Concourse and 3rd Avenue–149th Street stations.

Why does it seem that most of the projects announced are affordable?
Is that a bad thing?
This is nowhere near Morrisania. This is The Hub.
That’s literally the Morrisania Air Rights behind it.
Yeah, but it really isn’t in Morrisania which is up in the 160s closer to Third Avenue. It really isn’t the Hub either, since that’s around the intersection of 149th & Third. This is actually Melrose. As evidence, I submit that it’s across the street from the Melrose Central Building at 260 E. 161st St., and it is two and a half blocks from the Melrose Metro-North station.
This is not the hub. It’s Concourse Village.
