Permits Filed for 4350 Van Cortlandt Park East in Woodlawn, The Bronx
City agency approves controversial project in Woodlawn by developer Eliezer Grunberger.
The ongoing development debate in Woodlawn, The Bronx has taken a new turn with the recent filing of permits for a four-story mixed-use building at 4350 Van Cortlandt Park East. The controversial project, proposed by developer Eliezer Grunberger of EZ Builders Corp., has been met with mixed reactions from the community and city officials.
The lot, located between Oneida and Kepler Avenues, is in close proximity to the Nereid Avenue subway station, making it a desirable location for development. However, concerns have been raised about the potential impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
The proposed building will include both commercial and residential space, with the developer aiming to cater to the growing demand for affordable housing in the area. However, some community members are skeptical about the affordability of the units and fear that they may not truly benefit local residents.
City officials, on the other hand, have given the green light for the project, despite the pushback from some community members. This has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest and behind-the-scenes influence games.
In response to the controversy, a spokesperson for EZ Builders Corp. stated, "We are committed to creating quality and affordable housing options for the Woodlawn community and are confident that this project will bring much-needed revitalization to the area."
