Construction is nearing completion on Ogden Theatre Apartments, an 85-unit affordable housing development at 1415 Ogden Avenue in Highbridge, The Bronx. The $66 million project, designed by Aufgang Architects, includes 51 supportive housing units for formerly homeless individuals and 34 units reserved for residents qualifying for Section 8 benefits at or below 60% of the area median income (AMI). The site, once home to a movie theater, bowling alley, and church, features a red and black brick façade, recessed bird-friendly windows, and a rooftop solar array. Ground-floor barriers remain, but the building’s exterior work is finalized.
The development, led by a partnership between Unique People Services, NCV Capital Partners, and governmental entities including HUD, NYC’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), and the Department of Mental Health and Hygiene (DOHMH), will also include 2,000 square feet of ground-floor space for social services such as case management. Amenities include recreational areas, a laundry room, and bicycle parking. The project, expected to finish next spring, is located near the 4 train at 170th Street, according to sources [1] [2] [3].
Fifty-One Units for Formerly Homeless Residents and Thirty-Four for Low-Income
Fifty-one of the 85 units are designated as supportive housing for formerly homeless residents, while 34 units target households with incomes at or below 60% AMI. Funding includes Low Income Housing Tax Credits, HPD’s Supportive Housing Loan Program, and contributions from private partners like Chase Bank and M&T Bank. The project adheres to Passive House and Enterprise Green Community Standards, with a focus on sustainability through electric systems and solar energy.
Development Site Replaces Cultural Hub Near 4 Train Station
The development sits at the intersection of Ogden Avenue and West 171st Street, adjacent to the 170th Street 4 train station. It replaces a site that previously housed a cultural and recreational hub, now repurposed to address housing needs. Social services on the ground floor aim to support residents’ long-term stability, aligning with broader efforts in the Bronx to integrate affordable housing with public resources.
Completion Timeline Discrepancies
While sources note the project is “wrapping up,” the exact completion date remains unclear. One report mentions “next spring,” while another references a 2027 completion, per PIX11.
