History of Bronx River Addition and the Trust
In April 2024, Bronx River Addition residents voted for the Trust! Bronx River Addition, located in the Soundview neighborhood in the Bronx, was the second NYCHA development to vote to become a Public Housing Preservation Trust site. 122 residents voted, representing 61% of heads of households. Their voices were heard, and they had ownership in shaping the future of their homes - now let’s get to work!
Fifth Avenue Builders
The Trust is using a method called Design-Build, where a single team is responsible for both the design and construction of the renovation. The Trust has selected the FAB team to deliver this comprehensive modernization at Bronx River Addition.
The FAB team is made up of housing modernization experts with decades of experience modernizing home environments across the United States. Their team is made up of the following organizations:

Resident Partnership at Bronx River Addition
The Trust and NYCHA began resident outreach activities in May 2024. Meaningful resident partnership has been central to the Bronx River Addition conversion from the outset. Engagement has focused on providing clear information, creating consistent opportunities for dialogue, and ensuring resident feedback informs planning and implementation.
Starting in October 2025, Fifth Avenue Builders began their resident engagement efforts as the selected design-build team.

Resident Information Notice
The Resident Information Notice (RIN) outlines Trust’s and NYCHA’s intention to convert Nostrand to Project-Based Section 8 under the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. This allows the Trust to access funding to fully modernize Nostrand while NYCHA remains the property manager. Additionally, NYCHA will provide enhanced property management, security, and social services. In the RIN, it details the rights residents will maintain under this program.
