Last month, along with our partners at BRP Companies, we had the honor of hosting the Groundbreaking Ceremony for Phase II of La Central in the Bronx. This momentous occasion officially marks the start of the creation of 420 new affordable homes in what was previously a vacant, derelict lot. This phase of construction will be the culmination of the vision of La Central which includes five sustainable residential developments, a state-of-the-art YMCA, abundant open space for residents, new retail and community facilities, a new community garden and a rooftop telescope for students at The Bronx High School of Science. The development, first envisioned over a decade ago, would not have been possible without the support of City officials and agencies. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development and New York City Housing Development Corporation for seeing this project through to completion and providing crucial financing to make this a reality. We are grateful to Mayor Eric Adams and Deputy Mayor Adolfo Carrión, Jr. for prioritizing the development of much needed affordable housing, and to local elected officials like Bronx Borough President Hon. Vanessa L. Gibson, MPA (She, Her, Hers, Ella) Gibson and Councilman Rafael Salamanca for advocating for their districts. Additionally, this project would not be possible without the many consultants who had a hand in it: MHG ARCHITECTS, P.C., FXCollaborative, Dagher Engineering, PLLC, De Nardis Engineering, LLC, Bright Power, Steven Winter Associates, Hirschen Singer & Epstein LLP, Bousquet Holstein PLLC, and Novogradac & Company LLP. We are additionally grateful to our lenders at JPMorgan Chase Commercial Banking and our Tax Credit Syndicator, Red Stone Equity Partners LLC. Our stellar La Central team was assembled by the visionary Jerry Kretchmer and includes BRP Companies, ELH Mgmt. LLC, Breaking Ground (NYC Permanent Supportive Housing), and Comunilife, Inc.. And finally to the Hudsoners (past and present) who helped make this project a reality – Marlee Busching, Sally Gilliland, Vivian J., Alexandra Kaplan, Aaron Koffman, David Kramer, Mowa Li, and SUNNY SALKAR – thank you for your dedication!

This past Sunday, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the new Pelham Municipal Center, which also marked the Village of Pelham’s 50th anniversary — a meaningful milestone for the community and a proud moment for our team. Delivered as part of the broader Pelham Green public-private partnership, the new 27,000 SF Municipal Center will house the Village’s police, fire, and administrative departments. In return, our team was granted the development rights to build Pelham Green across the street — a 127-unit, transit-oriented residential project with ground-floor retail and both public and private parking. It was incredibly special to gather with Mayor Chance Mullen, Village Administrator Christopher Scelza, Congressman George Latimer , the Board of Trustees, and so many local residents to celebrate the opening of this state-of-the-art civic facility. We’re especially grateful to the partners who helped make this project possible — including Keith Pitocchi AIA and the team at United Design Works, Shardul Patel and the team at Brooker Engineering, a division of Weston & Sampson, as well as Bright Power, Johnson & Urban, MW Skins, David Cooper and Jacob Amir of Zarin & Steinmetz, and the Sisca team for carrying out our vision. This project is a testament to what can be achieved through thoughtful, community-centered development and sustained collaboration between the public and private sectors. Here’s to what we can accomplish — together — when we invest in the public good. #Pelham #PelhamGreen #CivicInfrastructure #PublicPrivatePartnership #RibbonCutting #WestchesterDevelopment #CommunityImpact

We’re also deeply grateful to NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development, New York City Housing Development Corporation, New York City Economic Development Corporation , and our general contractor, Broadway Builders LLC , for their outstanding work and dedication in bringing this phase to life! And last but certainly not least, a huge thank you to all the builders whose hard work and craftsmanship made this milestone possible!

What a night! Last week, The Hudson Companies and Broadway Builders LLC were honored at Project Renewal's annual Gala—a meaningful reminder of why this work matters. Over the past seven years, we’ve partnered with Project Renewal on two purpose-built shelter projects: West 59th Street and the Barbara Kleinman Shelter in East Williamsburg. These are complex developments that require coordination, persistence, and a shared commitment to delivering high-quality housing and services. Through it all, Project Renewal has been a steady, committed partner. In East Williamsburg, we’re in the midst of transforming a long-vacant, deteriorating building into a modern, state-of-the-art shelter. On West 59th Street, we’re approaching the finish line on another much-needed shelter that will offer stability and care to New Yorkers experiencing homelessness. Project Renewal’s team brings grit, compassion, and a holistic approach to care. To the entire Project Renewal team: thank you for the work you do every day to make New York more compassionate & resilient city. We’re proud to be your partner. 📸 A few moments from a night celebrating a truly impactful organization. #SupportiveHousing #AffordableHousing #ProjectRenewal #HudsonCompanies #BroadwayBuilders #NYCHousing #Partnership #HousingFirst

On May 13, 2025, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of Logan Fountain in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn — transforming a long-vacant gas station at 265 Logan Street into a thriving, mixed-use development that delivers 343 new homes for New Yorkers in need. Logan Fountain offers 173 permanently affordable apartments—including 105 supportive units with on-site case management, career counseling, and mental-health services from Jericho Project—and 169 HELP New Leaf transitional units for families experiencing homelessness, owned and operated by HELP USA. Upon arrival, residents are greeted by a site-specific mural by artist Baseera Khan—a vibrant tribute to resilience and new beginnings. This city–state partnership, funded through New York State Homes & Community Renewal, NYC Department of Social Services, and NYC Department of Housing Preservation & Development, also includes nearly 8,000 sq ft of retail along Atlantic Avenue, a landscaped courtyard, children’s play area, and dedicated social-services spaces. Designed by MHG ARCHITECTS, P.C. and constructed by Broadway Builders LLC, Logan Fountain is a model of sustainable urban development that’s woven into the fabric of its community. We extend our deepest thanks to Governor Hochul, Mayor Adams, our funding agencies, service partners, design and construction teams. Logan Fountain is proof that when public and private sectors unite around a common purpose, we can create quality, affordable housing that uplifts communities—and we look forward to many more projects that put people first.
