At the intersection of 138th Street and Third Avenue in Mott Haven, 2550 Third Avenue, the western building of Tres Puentes, has topped out and the eastern building, 275 East 138th Street, can be seen quickly trailing behind it.
The two buildings are a part of a development by the West Side Federation for Senior and Supportive Housing called Tres Puentes that will reserve all housing for the elderly and/or physically disabled. The name, a translation of “Three Bridges,” originates from the views of the Wills, Madison and Third Avenue bridges from the area.
