An affordable senior housing development that broke ground in the Highbridge neighborhood of the Bronx in December 2014 is nearing the finish line. The development has been dubbed Arts Bridge and these photos from November show the building’s interesting design, which was crafted by SLCE Architects.
The development is from Highbridge Community Development Corporation, a nonprofit developer and manager of low and moderate income housing which has created more than 2,100 affordable units in the Bronx over the past 10 years, according to the website ArtsBridgeSenior.com.
