Lincoln at Bankside

Lincoln at Bankside is a multi-building rental apartment complex in Mott Haven, the Bronx, listed here at 5 Lincoln Avenue, with Brookfield Properties as owner and manager. It is a complex rather than a single building: the second phase of Brookfield’s Bankside development, several towers on a shared podium on the Harlem River waterfront, with affordable apartments alongside market-rate units.

Third at Bankside, the first phase, is next door, and a public waterfront esplanade runs along the river. The Bruckner Boulevard antique row is to the east, and Manhattan is a short crossing away. The 6 stops at 3rd Avenue-138th Street, and the 4 and 5 at 125th Street across the Harlem River.

Bankside is one of the largest new residential developments in the South Bronx, with roughly 1,350 apartments across its two phases. It was built on former industrial land along the Harlem River after the 2009 rezoning of the Lower Concourse and Mott Haven waterfront, and a share of its apartments are income-restricted.

Lincoln at Bankside, completed in 2023, holds 921 apartments, and the public esplanade along the water has lawns and seating overlooking East Harlem across the river. Mott Haven is changing quickly, and new buildings like this one sit beside long-established blocks of row houses, public housing and industrial uses, so the area offers new-construction apartments at rents generally below those across the river in Manhattan.
