The mall will include both national and local retailers, 2,600 parking spots, and possibly a hotel. According to Seth Pinsky of the Economic Development Corporation, the new mall will provide the South Bronx with access to shopping opportunities that the community has been deprived of, in addition to roughly 4,000 jobs. The Gateway Center Mall will be located on the former Bronx Terminal Market site where ethnic food vendors were once stationed. 2008-08-12 00:00:00 http://www.plannyc.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Issues&file=index&catid=1&issueid=29#1919 Vornado Realty Trust’s purchase of the Bruckner Mall for $165 million, as well as the construction of the $395-million Gateway Plaza Mall at the old Bronx Terminal Market, signal the ascension of the real estate market in the Bronx. Observers credit the conflicting characteristics of the borough: cheaper rent and smaller parcels of land, as reasons for the recent acquisition of major properties. In addition, some credit the pro-development policies of Bronx public officials for the recent deals. 2007-01-23 00:00:00 http://www.plannyc.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Issues&file=index&catid=1&issueid=29#1828 The year 2006 saw many large-scale development plans in the Bronx: a new $800-million Yankees stadium to be finished in 2009, a $500-million new Gateway Center at the Terminal Market also to open in 2009, and the City’s pledge to build 12 acres of open green space as part of the Hunts Point Vision Plan and South Bronx Greenway Project. These are only a sampling of many development plans that are underway or being considered in the borough. Many of these plans are cause of great debate and disagreement.
