Smile NEW YORK | Fordham Landing (320 West Fordham Rd.) | FT | FLOORS (5 million sq-ft)

Note: This could be a very large project. With many towers. The renderings provided are somewhat visionary, and may be subject to change.

Bronx waterfront parcel could be next mega development for a cool $30M

A nearly abandoned lot in University Heights could soon become the Bronx’s next residential haven.

Realtors are wooing bidders for a prime tract of north Bronx waterfront they say would be perfect for hulking towers. Asking price: a cool $30 million.

A developer could build nearly 1 million square feet of residential space on 320 W. Fordham Road in University Heights — known to some as “Fordham Landing” — just off the Major Deegan Expressway and steps from the Harlem River, according to the listing by Massey Knakal, which took over the site earlier this year.

Karl Brumback, the firm’s vice president, envisions four or five towers with a mix of market-rate and affordable housing and parking for the waterside unit.

“This is a game-changer for the north Bronx,” said Brumback.

There’s one potential pitfall: The privately owned parcel is located directly across the street from a planned residence that includes a homeless shelter.

Manhattan-based nonprofit Bowery Residence Committee wants to build a shelter, with 200 single rooms for homeless residents alongside 132 affordable units, in space on Landing Road space currently used by Dallas BBQ as a parking lot, the News reported in July.

Final Negotiations Begin For $3.5 Billion Redevelopment At Fordham Landing, In The Bronx



Quote:
A $3.5 billion initiative to reshape and redevelop an industrial wasteland on the Eastern edge of The Bronx has reached the final stages of negotiations, and could soon begin construction. Known formally as Fordham Landing, the property is located between the Harlem River and the Major Deegan Expressway, immediately adjacent to the University Heights Bridge.

Preliminary renderings were scooped by Lois Weiss of the New York Post earlier this week, to reveal several high-rise towers, an aquatic recreation space, and a public esplanade. Dynamic Star, the development team behind the propose project, has tapped design architects NADAAA and Perkins Eastman.

Pending approvals, the development could yield a whopping 5 million square feet, including office space, a mix of affordable and market rate apartments, a new hotel and conference center, community spaces, and 12 acres of open spaces.

The only specified portions of the proposed project so far include a 700,000-square-foot “Life Sciences Center” and associated office space. Residential area will reportedly include a total of 2,800 apartments, with approximately 30 percent to be let as affordable homes.

This proposed development is on the "western edge" of the Bronx not the eastern edge. It would be right to call it the eastern edge if it were on the other side of the Harlem river in Manhattan,

Ambitious Bronx project gains powerful union ally
The $3.5 billion Fordham Landing requires City Council approval






November 04, 2019
By Eddie Small


Quote:
A breathtakingly ambitious Bronx project now has Gary LaBarbera in its corner.

The president of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York came out strongly in favor of the project during a tour of the expansive site, citing the employment the development would create.

“It is going to open opportunity for thousands of jobs, 10,000 permanent jobs for residents of the Bronx,” the powerful labor leader said. “And it’s going to create 8,000 construction jobs.”

LaBarbera’s support is not a surprise, given that the developer has pledged to build it with union labor exclusively. But it is important because his endorsement will make it easier for the $3.5 billion project to win the City Council approval it needs without having to make extensive concessions beyond the amenities it is already promising.
Quote:
LaBarbera said that the AFL-CIO’s Housing Investment Trust, Building Investment Trust and Union Labor Life Insurance Company were all “very interested in investing in this project.”

“So we see this project as a unique relationship,” he said. “This is a partnership between union pension funds, union building trades, and the development team.”

Meridan Capital Group Inks $18.85M Financing For Fordham Landing Development In The Bronx





Quote:
Developers behind a sprawling mixed-use community in The Bronx recently secured an $18.85 million injection from Meridian Capital Group, one of the largest mortgage brokerage firms in the United States. The funding is specifically allocated to facilitate the construction of a new building at 2475 Exterior Street located along the Harlem River, immediately south of the Alexander Hamilton Bridge.

The new property will comprise 495,000 square feet and is the latest confirmed project within the Fordham Landing mega-development. The building will contain a mix of affordable housing units, student housing, a public school, a research center, retail, and office space.

The entire Fordham Landing development comprises an assemblage of five neighboring lots spanning approximately 40 acres of land formerly owned by CSX Corporation, a publicly traded holding company with a focus on rail transportation. Under CSX, the site functioned as a rail yard. Dynamic Star, the new property owner, acquired the assemblage in 2019 and expects full completion by 2029.

“The loan proceeds will be used to facilitate the acquisition of the CSX site and fund interest, carry, and closing costs,” said Ronnie Levine, senior managing director of Dynamic Star. “Our next step is to pair Dynamic Star with a strong equity partner who will able to take advantage of significant tax benefits as some of the assemblage falls within an Opportunity Zone. Dynamic Star has successfully closed on the scrapyard parcel, as well as the La Salle piece, and is now moving forward with their work with city planning to make this dream a reality.”

Dynamic Star continues adding to $3.5B Bronx megaproject
The property will be part of Dynamic Star's $3.5 billion Fordham Landing development


Quote:
Dynamic Star continues to snap up properties as it moves forward with a massive mixed-use project in the Bronx.

Dynamic Star purchased a concrete plant site along the Major Deegan Expressway for $21 million, Crain’s reported. Galway Realty sold the property.

The development firm intends to incorporate the new parcel into Fordham Landing, the $3.5 billion megaproject it’s planning in University Heights near the Harlem River.

Fordham Landing could become one New York’s largest real estate project since Hudson Yards. As planned, the project would sit on a 30-acre site and could have 2,380 apartments, including 720 units of affordable housing, according to Crain’s. It would also include about 50,000 square feet of retail space, an 800,000-square-foot life sciences center, a hotel, waterfront bars and restaurants, and an e-sports center.

But it will be some time before that ambitious plan comes to fruition: According to Dynamic Star’s Brad Zackson, the pandemic delayed the project’s timeline by about a year. Now, the development firm is hoping to reach an agreement with the city for the project’s conceptual design in the first half of the year. The project would also need City Council approval through the city’s land use review process, which the firm is hoping to get by 2023.

Signature Bank, Columbia Pacific Refi Fordham Landing Project With $70M Loan

SEPTEMBER 1, 2022

Quote:
A joint venture between Dynamic Star, Namdar Realty Group and Gorjian Acquisitions has sealed a $70 million debt package to refinance a planned mixed-use development in the Bronx, Commercial Observer can first report.

Signature Bank and Columbia Pacific Advisors provided the 12-month, floating-rate loan for the sponsorship’s Fordham Landing project, which sits on 14 acres of underutilized property. The deal was closed by Signature Bank’s Ken Stagnari and Joe Fingerman along with Columbia Pacific’s Will Nelson.

Meridian Capital Group’s Shlomo Weissberg arranged the transaction out of the company’s New York City headquarters.

Located along the Harlem River at 2475 Exterior Street, Fordham Landing is considered one of the last pieces of undeveloped waterfront property in New York City. The site sits adjacent to the Bronx’s University Heights neighborhood and is less than half a mile from Yankee Stadium.

Development plans at Fordham Landing involve more than 2.5 million square feet of mixed-use projects including a conference center, restaurants and entertainment venues. It will also include community space and open space for playing fields.

Connecticut-based Dynamic Star added Namdar Realty Group and Gorjian Acquisitions as partners in the Fordham Landing project last year.

Officials at Dynamic Star and Columbia Pacific did not immediately return requests for comment. Signature Bank declined to comment.
