The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) explains the considerations for unit mix and size in the housing project, focusing on maximizing space and incorporating feedback.
- Small site constraints influenced the design and unit mix decisions.
- A balance was attempted to maximize a mix of different unit types.
- Studio spaces feature alcoves for bed separation, enhancing living quality.
- Approximately half the units incorporate this alcove design, averaging about 400 square feet for studios.

The community board, Bronxboro President and Council member Stevens, the board expressed a concern about unit sizes.

Before I hand it back over to the, you know, development team.

You know, on these, you know, infill sites, oftentimes, We're working with very small sites.
0:49:25
So there's a lot of constraints.
0:49:27
I think, you know, in this project, we try to, you know, maximize you know, a mix of units.

I do wanna highlight that and and the moment you can speak this more that we utilized in the studio spaces, you know, alcoves, So there's a bit of separation.
0:49:48
Even though it's a studio, there's a separation to put the bed, and we've incorporated that in about half the unit.
0:49:54
So thinking about some of those feedback.

Good day, David.

I'll just mention that as Adam is discussing the Alcoast Studios, those are about 400 square feet on average, so that it's a generous size studio.
