NEW YORK CITY — Construction is complete on Vicinitas Hall, a new 68-unit supportive housing development in the Bronx for low-income young adults and those who have aged out of foster care. The 41,000-square-foot property was built on the site of a parking lot for $15.9 million, with $7 million in federal funds issued by the city in addition to stimulus money, state housing funds and tax credits. Vicinitas includes recreation rooms, a landscaped rear yard and offices for case management staff. The building was designed by OCV Architects and constructed by Bayview Real Estate Consultants. Vicinitas will be operated by the Lantern Group, a Manhattan-based nonprofit.
