Bronx Point represents a transformative mixed-use development of approximately 530,000 SF that will bring dynamic commercial/retail and community facility uses, 540 units of affordable housing, and engaging new open spaces to the Harlem River waterfront in the South Bronx.
The project includes dynamic uses that encourage community interaction starting with an approximately 52,000 SF cultural anchor of deep local resonance - a dedicated home to the Universal Hip Hop Museum that will attract guests from the local community as well as worldwide supporters of Hip Hop culture.
Movement surrounds and permeates the site, and the design of Bronx Point was inspired by the movement of urban rhythms - those created by surrounding vehicular traffic on highways and bridges, the nearby freight train, the tidal river flowing by, and pedestrians in a walkable neighborhood. Reinforcing these rhythms is the movement created by Hip Hop culture originating from this environment. S9’s proposed design and materials echo these rhythms and movements through varying façade shifts, terraced building massing, setbacks, and framed cutouts.
Building materials used in the façade are contextual, utilizing various bricks, stones, metals, and concrete materials on both the tower and podium with fine textured materials used on the pedestrian-scaled podium. Bronx Point received the 2020 Global Award for Excellence in Design by the NYC Public Design Commission.
