Summary
Triangle Plaza Hub is the result of a public-private partnership with the City of New York. Triangle Equities was selected through an RFP process run by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) for the development of a mixed-use retail and office facility that is consistent with both the Bronxchester Urban Renewal Plan and the City’s South Bronx Initiative.
The project will provide a variety of community amenities, including a campus for the Metropolitan College of New York, a public plaza located at the intersection of Bergen and 149th Street, and a Fine Fare supermarket, which is being built in an underserved area as part of the City’s Food Retail Expansion to Support Health (FRESH). Additionally, the building will feature rooftop parking for 83 cars in an effort to maximize space for retail and office use.
The project is a joint venture between Triangle Equities and Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, and is financed in part by New Markets Tax Credits equity, private equity, and conventional debt. The project resulted in approximately $35 million in total investment.
The building achieved LEED Silver certification and utilizes brick, masonry, and industrial building materials that are contextual to the neighborhood. Triangle Plaza Hub has activated the street level fronted on 149th Street by maintaining street walls and implementing glass facades in order to create an inviting pedestrian entrance and ensure transparency on its upper levels.
