Third at Bankside

Third at Bankside is a multi-building rental apartment complex in Mott Haven, the Bronx, listed here at 2385 Third Avenue, with Brookfield Properties as owner and manager. It is a complex rather than a single building: the first phase of Brookfield’s Bankside development, several towers set on a shared podium on the Harlem River waterfront near the Third Avenue Bridge.

Lincoln at Bankside, the second phase, is next door, and a public waterfront esplanade runs along the river. Manhattan is a short crossing away over the Third Avenue and Willis Avenue bridges. The 6 stops at 3rd Avenue-138th Street, the 4 and 5 at 125th Street across the river, and Metro-North at Harlem-125th Street.

Completed in 2022, the first phase holds 458 apartments, and together with Lincoln at Bankside the development totals roughly 1,350 apartments, making it one of the largest new residential projects in the South Bronx. 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.

For renters coming from Manhattan, the appeal is new-construction apartments with river views at rents generally below those across the water, with the 6 train a short walk away and Midtown reachable in well under half an hour.
