Below the South Bronx prepare, a new stadium would replace an elevator areas manufacturing unit and some parking loads and garages on metropolis-owned land, and it would anchor a undertaking that also involves 2,000-3,000 units of inexpensive housing, industrial and neighborhood retail space, a hotel and a new college — all a limited length from Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees are element-proprietors in NYCFC and helped set jointly the $1 billion blended-use megaproject program it initiatives would deliver 10,000 new employment.
Nonetheless, the system strike a hitch the moment the Yankees sought a guarantee the town would go on to offer 5,400 properly-preserved parking areas for its fan base — or properly under the 9,000 they’re presently entitled to.
