If you’ve walked by the empty lot on Bainbridge Avenue and 204th Street recently, you may have noticed a difference: construction crews working to turn it into something other than the rubble-strewn lot that it has been since Halloween of 2009 when the building standing there was burned down by a fire.
According to plans on the website of the brokerage firm RKF, the lot will be turned into a one-story building that is already open for commercial lease.
RKF did not respond to inquiries for more information by press time, but construction is obviously still in beginning stages.

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. As you navigate this website, please let us know if you discover any glitches or if you have any suggestions. We’d love to hear from you.
