The Crescendo, 25 Bruckner Boulevard: Review and Ratings

Review of 25 Bruckner Boulevard by Carter Horsley

This attractive, two-building apartment complex at 25 Bruckner Boulevard at Lincoln Avenue in the Mott Haven neighborhood in the Bronx was erected in 2017 by Carnegie Management, which had converted the former piano factory in the Clock Tower Building in 2002.

The complex has 130 rental units in two buildings, most in the longer, 6-story building on the boulevard.  One is named “The Staccato” and the other named “The Legato” and the development is known as The Crescendo.   The area was once known as the city’s piano district because it had many manufacturers of pianos.

Karl Fisher and Studio C designed the project.

The development is a block south of the large 101 Lincoln/2401 Third Avenue project of six residential towers that straddles the Bronx approach to the lovely Third Avenue Bridge over the Harlem River that is being developed by The Chetrit Group and Somerset Partners.

Bottom Line

The attractive two rental buildings share a large, skylit, one-story amenity building in the landscaped courtyard.

Description

The large building, whose base has a dark grey façade and a light gray top façade, has large “quiet rooms” at one end of the building.

The large building, which has multi-paned windows, has many balconies and its dark base steps down one floor partially from the top floor.

Amenities

The building has a fitness center with an indoor swimming pool, a garage, a bicycle room, a sports court, a landscaped courtyard, a roof deck and an attended lobby.

Apartments
