NEW YORK: The six hundred and twentieth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards for 2015 has been received.
A major South Bronx development that includes a rooftop telescope, affordable housing and a public skate park will get a $1.5 million boost from the borough.
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. is including the money for La Central, a mixed-use project coming to 430 Westchester Ave., in his upcoming capital budget, which will come out later in July.
The 1.1 million-square-foot project, located right by The Hub, will feature 992 apartments, including 160 units of supportive housing for people with special needs. It will also contain a YMCA, space for BronxNet Television Studios, a public skate park and a telescope on the roof.
