River Commons is a $255 million, 17-story mixed-use development in Morrisania, South Bronx, delivering 328 affordable and supportive homes alongside a new 43,000-square-foot Gotham Health primary care clinic and on-site social services, with completion targeted for 2027.

The project transforms an underutilized parking lot into a housing-health-civic complex, integrating housing, health care, and community resources on hospital property for the first time.

Long-term ownership will be by women-owned Type A Projects, BronxWorks, and L+M Development Partners, with Bernheimer Architecture designing the project; NYC HPD and H+H guide construction, financed through HPD’s New Construction Finance (ELLA) program.

A 7,000-square-foot public green space with a landscaped plaza and artwork by Fitgi Saint-Louis will celebrate the neighborhood’s history and culture.

Community amenities include 6,000 square feet of space on the ground floor for African Communities Together and the BronxWorks Empowerment Center, plus services in education, workforce development, employment counseling, and legal support.

The development aligns with other H+H housing initiatives, including the revived Just Home project at Jacobi campus, reflecting a broader effort to merge housing, health care, and social services in the Bronx.

The project features 6,000 square feet of community space for African Communities Together and BronxWorks Empowerment Center, plus a 15,000-square-foot parking garage and a 7,000-square-foot public green space designed with community input.

Nearly 70% of units (229) are reserved for households earning 30%–70% of area median income, with 98 apartments designated as permanent supportive housing for homeless H+H patients under the Housing for Health initiative.

The project is slated to open in 2027 and represents a model for Housing for Health by combining affordable housing with expanded health care access and neighborhood services.

A new 43,000-square-foot Gotham Health clinic and a 15,000-square-foot parking garage are part of the development to improve access to primary care and provide on-site amenities.

Funding primarily comes from the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development’s Extremely Low & Low-Income Affordability (ELLA) program to support new multi-family rental construction for low-income households.

BronxWorks and Type A Projects will serve as long-term owners, with BronxWorks delivering on-site social, wellness, and employment services for residents.
