The property is located at the corner of John M. Collins Place and West 239th Street.
Wooden fencing surrounds the perimeter of the property, which has been lightly excavated and sections of the ground braced with wooden and steel reinforcements.

The façade will be composed of a mix of various materials, beginning with black stone at the base, followed by red woodgrain paneling, according to YIMBY.
The majority of the exterior will be clad in white masonry with black and charcoal accents around the grid of windows.

A white metal framework will sit atop the roof, presumably for a screened-in playground.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
