At a groundbreaking in the Bronx, Mayor Zohran Mamdani offered a glimpse into how he’s hoping to build more affordable housing. A sleepy corner of Hunts Point haunted by memories of the shuttered Spofford Juvenile Detention Center is not necessarily the first place you might expect to become a vibrant community hub. Casanova Residence, slated for development as The Doe Fund’s next fully affordable project, offers Mamdani an easy layup to take credit for his housing goals. “People often counted Hunts Point out, but it was people that stood their ground, that said Hunts Point will not be left behind, but rather that Hunts Point will lead,” Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson said. Breaking Ground: The largest new building permit filed was for a proposed 30,794-square-foot, six-story residential building with affordable housing at 4189 White Plains Road in Wakefield.
