The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) announced today the closing of Twin Parks Terrace, a 182-units affordable housing development in the Bronx on NYCHA-owned land.
Construction is anticipated to start in January 2021.
Twin Parks Terrace is a new construction project which will consist of 181 affordable rental units and one superintendent unit on Webster Avenue between East 183rd Street and East 184th Street in the Fordham Heights section of the Bronx.
The project site is currently a parking lot adjacent to the Twin Parks West Houses development, which underwent a conversion in 2018 through NYCHA’s Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program.

Vivian Azer, a lifelong Coptic Catholic now living in Staten Island, confirmed that Christian life in Egypt is “tough.” But that’s all she wanted to say about the conditions there.
