Another Office Tower is Coming to The Hub

Plans for a new 13-story office tower in Melrose at The Hub have been revealed.

Currently an empty lot at 631 Bergen Avenue and East 152nd Street, directly across from the massive 1.1 million square foot La Central development which is currently under construction, the development is slated to contain 60,000 square feet of office space and ground floor retail.

Just one block down on Bergen and Westchester Avenue, another office building is currently under construction which will add just over 147,000 square feet across 10 stories and house offices and a charter school.
