"According to project details unveiled by Mayor Eric Adams, Governor Kathy Hochul and U.S. Representative Adriano Espaillat, the first phase will focus on creating a "state-of-the-art venue space for entertainment, recreation, culture, commerce, light industrial manufacturing and more than 25,000 square feet of dedicated community space." The second phase will add roughly 500 units of permanently affordable rental housing. The total investment? Just over $215 million in combined city, state, and federal funding."
""From training troops during the first World War to distributing food during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Kingsbridge Armory has served our city for more than a century," Mayor Adams said in an official statement. "With hundreds of affordable homes and tens of thousands of square feet of commercial, community, and manufacturing space, this ambitious proposal will give the Bronx vital space to work, live, and come together.""
City Council approval will convert the Kingsbridge Armory into a two-phase, mixed-use, community-centered hub in the Bronx. Phase one will renovate the Armory’s 180,000-square-foot, column-free Drill Hall into a state-of-the-art venue for entertainment, recreation, culture, commerce, light industrial manufacturing and more than 25,000 square feet of dedicated community space. Phase two will add roughly 500 permanently affordable rental units and reimagine the adjacent National Guard site. The project carries just over $215 million in combined city, state, and federal funding, with construction beginning in 2026 and completion targeted for 2032.
