Bronx River Addition
Preserving community, improving homes, and building a stronger future for Bronx River Addition residents.
Welcome to the Bronx River Addition Modernization
The Bronx River Addition Modernization is a resident-driven initiative coordinated by the New York City Public Housing Preservation Trust. Following a resident vote, the Trust is leading a comprehensive renovation of two public housing buildings in the Bronx and will own and steward the property after completion. Fifth Avenue Builders has been hired by the Trust to deliver these renovations, ensuring the project meets the highest standards of quality and community responsiveness.
Proposed Scope of Work
The modernization is rooted in resident priorities. The modernization will deliver new kitchens and bathrooms, improved apartment layouts, improved accessibility for apartments, restored facades, new windows, and thoughtfully landscaped grounds. Interior upgrades focus on accessibility, safety, and comfort, ensuring all residents can thrive in a modern, supportive environment.

Sustainability
Sustainability is a core value of the project. The development will achieve full electrification by replacing outdated building systems with high-efficiency heat pumps and energy recovery ventilation. The use of durable materials and energy-efficient upgrades will reduce long-term maintenance costs and environmental impact, aligning with New York City’s climate and sustainability goals.
Local Hiring & MWBE Participation
Resident engagement and economic inclusion are central to the process. From design input to community amenities, residents are active partners in shaping the project. The Trust is committed to clear communication, minimizing disruption during construction, and creating economic opportunities through targeted local hiring and meaningful MWBE participation.
