BRONX, NEW YORK
Union Avenue Consolidation (UAC) is a collection of eighteen NYCHA buildings whose residents selected Arker and the partner team to undergo $247 million in renovations as part of a PACT conversion. The renovations will improve the lives of the roughly 2,000 Bronx residents who live at UAC, without displacement or rent increases. Comprehensive upgrades will dramatically improve apartments, shared spaces, grounds, building infrastructure, and residents’ quality of life. As part of the conversion, all apartments will receive new doors, closets, windows, and fresh paint, as well as comprehensive upgrades to bathrooms and kitchens. Buildings will receive façade and envelope improvements, new heating systems, domestic hot water systems, modernized elevators, ventilation improvements, new roofs, free broadband internet, fire safety upgrades, solar panels, and new security installations such as cameras and improved lighting. Additionally, common areas such as entrances, lobbies, mail areas, trash and recycling rooms, hallways, stairways, laundry rooms, offices, and community centers will be comprehensively renovated. Development grounds will be revitalized by new landscaping, patterned concrete pavement, new seating areas, bike racks, walking paths, and playgrounds, with an overall emphasis on accessibility.
