Grand Concourse Library to be fully remodeled with affordable apartments on top

The idea of living in a library is every book lover’s dream — and it could become reality for some lucky Bronx households in the coming years. 

The Grand Concourse library, located at 155 East 173rd Street, is slated for a major remodel that will create a new, two-story public library with approximately 113 units of affordable housing on top. Fifteen percent of the units will be set aside for formerly homeless New Yorkers.
