Bronx Pro Group is a women-owned, neighborhood-based firm dedicated to community development through affordable and sustainable housing investments. Since 1988, BPG has completed the development of over 2,500 affordable housing units along with commercial and community spaces with a total development cost of $600 million. Currently, the company has $335 million of development under construction and approximately $335 million in pre-development. In 1998, HPD selected BPG for its Neighborhood Entrepreneur Program (NEP). The program transferred City-owned buildings to private, neighborhood-based property managers for development into low and moderate income housing. BPG renovated more than 300 apartments under the program. In 2004, BPG was selected by HPD and NYCHA to launch the agencies' brand new collaboration to transfer underutilized, NYCHA-owned properties to private developers for the creation of low-income housing.As the first developer under the HPD/NYCHA Development Collaboration, BPG completed University Macombs Apartments which consisted of four vacant multifamily buildings containing 180 apartments and a vacant lot. The existing buildings underwent moderate renovation and a new 30-unit building was constructed on the vacant lot, along with 15,076 SF of commercial space. Due to the success of that project, BPG was awarded a second 111-unit project (University Macombs Apartments II) and a third 173-unit project (University Avenue Consolidated 3) from NYCHA. In 2009, BPG began construction on it first LEED Gold Certified, moderate income residence at 850 Jennings Street. Additionally, 1070 Washington Avenue is the second LEED Gold Certified development by BPG and serves some of New York City's most vulnerable populations.Preservation of occupied distressed properties is a critical component of BPG's affordable housing mission. BPG's in-house construction affiliate, Home Builders 1 LP, offers renovation and relocation services to distressed properties.
