Bronx Commons, jointly developed by BFC and WHEDco with city and state support, is 100% affordable development totaling 305 affordable apartments.
The centerpiece of the development is the state-of-the-art 300-seat Bronx Music Hall, which will host performing arts concerts and exhibits in both indoor and outdoor performance spaces.
