The Kingsbridge Armory first opened back in 1917 for military use until 1994. The city has owned the landmarked building since 1996.
It has recently been used as a temporary food distribution center during the COVID-19 pandemic and as storage for victims of the Twin Park North fire.
The city will begin requests for proposals next month for the redevelopment with an aim at creating over 1,800 jobs, including 1,100 construction jobs, and up to $10 billion in economic impact to the Bronx based on initial estimates. “The Kingsbridge Armory is a majestic, incredible structure that could be activated to deliver so much to our community and the Bronx,” said Sanchez in a statement. “It could represent a catalyst for economic transformation in one of the neighborhoods hardest-hit by the pandemic, and that was already struggling economically prior to the pandemic. It could represent hundreds of good paying, union jobs.
