What Is Being Built at 2064 Grand Concourse

The Louella is a 13-story building with 85 apartments for older adults, on the lot where the First Union Baptist Church stood.

Permit: Department of Buildings job 210179983 is a new building of 13 stories, 132 feet and 85 apartments. It was filed on July 25, 2019, approved on September 28, 2023 and fully permitted on January 17, 2025.
Owner: the permit names The Community Builders, Inc., a nonprofit. On June 27, 2024, the lot was deeded to 2064 Grand Concourse Housing Development Fund Corp and TCB 2064 Grand Concourse Limited Partnership.
Developers: HPD's data calls the project "THOROBIRD-TCB. 2064 GRAND CONCOURSE. THE LOUELLA". Community Capital New York (CCNY) wrote in 2022 that The Community Builders (TCB) "is partnering with Thorobird Companies".
Architect: New York YIMBY and the Bronx Times named GF55 Partners in 2019. The listing's rendering carries the GF55 mark.
Programs: the listing says "LIHTC 9% | SARA | PBV | AIRS | HOME". HPD's 2023 tax credit list reserved $1,832,000 in credits for The Louella. It counts 84 of the 85 apartments as tax credit units.
Church space: CCNY quoted the plan: "The Church will occupy space on the ground floor and cellar of the building". It names "a food pantry" and "weekly church services".
Status: the permit for the building's structural work was signed off on September 15, 2026. City data showed no certificate of occupancy on October 17, 2026.

The canopy at right reads "...MUNITY FACILITY"; CCNY wrote in 2022 that the church will use ground-floor and cellar space.

Watch outone building, several names. Housing Connect says The Louella Senior Apartments. HPD, the lenders and CCNY say The Louella. Community Board 5's minutes say the Louella Project. CCNY wrote that the name honors Louella Hatch, "a Bronx resident who dedicated her life to serving her community".

Where the sources disagree on size and age

Apartments85 in the permit, HPD's data, the City's PLUTO data and the 2024 loan news. A 2021 structural permit says 91, and so did the developers at the 2021 board meeting. CCNY's 2022 count also adds up to 91: 75 studios, 15 one-bedrooms and a superintendent's two-bedroom. In 2019 the Bronx Times reported "98 units, plus a unit for the building's superintendent".
Stories13 in the permit and PLUTO. The 2021 structural permit and board minutes say 14. Both 2019 news reports say 17.
Height132 feet in the permit. New York YIMBY reported "163-foot-tall" for the 2019 plan.
Agethe listing's preference is "Preference-Age (62+)". CCNY wrote in 2022 that "All residents will be 55 or older". HPD's SARA term sheet lets units for formerly homeless seniors use an age limit of 55 and over.

85 Apartments in the Building, 26 on Housing Connect

Housing Connect lists 26 of the building's 85 apartments, and no document opened says how the other 59 will be filled.

Rent and Income Limits at The Louella on Housing Connect

The listing shows a rent of $0 for all 26 apartments, and its rent table says "Eligible tenant pays 30% of their income."

Apartments	Income level	Listed rent	What the tenant pays	People	Yearly income
25 studios	50% AMI	$0	30% of income	1 to 2	$0 to $67,850
1 one-bedroom	50% AMI	$0	30% of income	1 to 3	$0 to $76,350

What it means: there is no dollar rent to compare. What a tenant pays depends on the household's income.

Source: Housing Connect listing for lottery 7678 and its rent table, read October 17, 2026; the description says the 26 are "to be marketed on hc2", and the table marks both types as project-based voucher units.

How Rent Works With The Louella's Project-Based Vouchers

Each listed apartment has a project-based voucher, so the tenant pays a share of income and the voucher stays with the apartment.

HPD says project-based vouchers "require tenants to pay 30% of their income towards rent". It adds that the subsidy "is attached to a designated unit". In 2021 the developers told Community Board 5 the same. The minutes record that "100% of the units would be supported with project-based vouchers".

Apartment	Listed rent	What the tenant pays	2026 CityFHEPS maximum	HUD figure, ZIP 10457
Studio	$0	30% of income	$2,604	$2,280
One-bedroom	$0	30% of income	$2,734	$2,390

What it means: a voucher maximum caps a dollar rent. These apartments set no dollar rent for the tenant, so there is no rent to hold against those maximums.

If you already have a voucher

Housing Connect's ruleits FAQ says "Minimum income requirements do not apply if you have a voucher or a rental subsidy". Here the minimum is $0 anyway.
The help stays with the apartmentHPD says families "may move out of a project based unit after one year with continued assistance from a tenant based voucher if one is available".
Your own voucherno document opened says what happens to a Section 8 voucher or CityFHEPS you already hold if you move in. Ask the marketing agent and the agency that issued it before you sign.
Credit checkthe FAQ says "Applicants qualifying with rental subsidy are not subject to a credit check or review of rental history."
Which agencythe listing does not name the agency behind the vouchers. HPD's list of its own project-based voucher buildings, dated March 3, 2026, does not name The Louella.

Watch out"30% of income" may not mean 30% of gross pay. For its regular vouchers, HPD says a tenant pays "approximately 30% of your adjusted household income toward rent, 10% of your gross income, or $50 (whichever is greater)". HPD's SARA rules add that "All rents are calculated as gross rents less a utility allowance". Ask how income is counted and which utilities you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Louella Senior Apartments on NYC Housing Connect?

Yes. It is lottery 7678, for 26 apartments at 2064 Grand Concourse in the Bronx: 25 studios and one one-bedroom. As of October 17, 2026, the listing has no application deadline and no advertisement, so applications are not open yet. A deadline will appear on the listing when the lottery opens.

What is the rent at 2064 Grand Concourse?

The listing shows $0, because each apartment has a project-based voucher. Its rent table says "Eligible tenant pays 30% of their income". By VoucherMatch's arithmetic, that is $600 a month on a $24,000 yearly income. HPD counts adjusted income for its regular vouchers, so a real share can be lower.

How old do you have to be for The Louella?

The listing gives a preference to applicants 62 and older for all 26 apartments. HPD's SARA rules say AIRS apartments require "at least one member of the household be age 62 and over". A 2022 lender's post said residents would be 55 or older, so ask the hotline.

How much can you earn for The Louella Senior Apartments?

One person can earn up to $59,400 a year and two people up to $67,850, all at 50% AMI. Three people fit only the single one-bedroom, with a limit of $76,350. The minimum income is $0, and the asset limit is $84,800. Households of four or more cannot apply.

Does The Louella take Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

The apartments already carry project-based Section 8 vouchers, which stay with the apartment. Housing Connect accepts vouchers and waives minimum income for them. No document opened says what happens to a voucher you already hold here, so ask the marketing agent and your agency before signing.

Is The Louella the same as the Louella Project at 2064 Grand Concourse?

Yes. Housing Connect calls it The Louella Senior Apartments, and HPD's data says "THOROBIRD-TCB. 2064 GRAND CONCOURSE. THE LOUELLA". Community Board 5's 2021 minutes say the Louella Project. The building stands on the former First Union Baptist Church lot, and the church is to have ground-floor space.

Is 2064 Grand Concourse in Mount Hope, Tremont or Fordham Heights?

City building and housing records place it in Mount Hope. A 2024 loan announcement says Fordham Heights, and a 2019 New York YIMBY report says Tremont. The lot is on the Grand Concourse between East Burnside Avenue and East 180th Street, in ZIP code 10457 and Community Board 5.
