Ugh 2014... This should have been under construction last year.
Hopefully those adjacent lots to the north get quickly developed. There was talk of some innovative Via Verde like buildings being constructed on those. Also, there seems to a be a lot of construction activity just north of the Prospect Ave elevated station. That area has seen a ton of new construction over the last 5 years.

There are proposals going on now to develop those lots so someone should have it soon. I talked to some architects today who are putting in a proposal for the lots with some partners and were touring Via Verde to see what we have going on. I am looking forward to some quality restaurants to move in area. Via Verde sponsors will also be developing a lot they own just North of Via Verde which is scheduled to be a Residential Building. Not sure when.

Well, you know, with each project successfully complete, it helps advertised vacant or underdeveloped lots to investors. Give it time . 2014 will be here before you know it, and the next thing you know those vacant lots will be sold to developers.
Even if you just count what's already finished the area has seen a LOT of PROGRESS.
DownTownBX - Do you know if there are going to be any developments on the small triangle empty lot right next to Via Verde (Brook & Bergen Ave.)?
That lot will likely be developed on, maybe become a plaza. The two lots to the South of it along Bergen will be mixed use primarily residential and innovative, the lot where the 2/5 elevated descends will be commercial development described by DownTownBX.
All 4 adjacent Bergen Ave lots will be developed on, latest 2015 I would guess. That leaves one large lot left on Bergen, On East 148th. I could see that going mixed use primarily residential.
The HUB needs more office space too though, the city should be driving the hub to be a primary CBD like Downtown BK. That would decentralize a lot of workers from Midtown, and reduce commute times for a lot of people in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan.

According to various articles here, the Bronx leads the city in startups. So what you're saying about the HUB becoming a place like Downtown Brooklyn is happening. Particularly as major media outlets continue to promote the Bronx, and as South Bronx commercial and office real estate gets more exposure.
AIA/HUD Secretary Awards Recognize Outstanding Housing Projects. Via Verde Among Them...
Check out article below... AIA/HUD Secretary Awards Recognize Three Outstanding Housing Projects
| ArchDaily
The American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) Housing and Custom Residential Knowledge Community, in conjunction with the Office of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), have recognized three recipients of the 2013 AIA/HUD Secretary Awards. The categories of the program include (1) Excellence in Affordable Housing Design (2) Creating Community Connection Award (no recipient selected this year) (3) Community-Informed Design Award and (4) Housing Accessibility – Alan J. Rothman Award. These awards demonstrate that design matters, and the recipient projects offer examples of important developments in the housing industry.
“These developments prove that you can push the boundaries of design while still creating something very special that folks can actually afford,” said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan. “These projects took innovative visions from the drawing board and made them a part of how we live today.”
Category One: Excellence in Affordable Housing Design Award:
Via Verde – The Green Way; Bronx, New York / Dattner Architects and Grimshaw Architects
This project has become the new model for public housing in New York City. The project was carefully crafted to accommodate the scale of the existing neighborhood and adjacent housing while adding both housing and green space to a brownfield site in the South Bronx. Landscaped green roofs and a central courtyard create 40,000 square feet of open space. Residents can grow their own fruits and vegetables as well as enjoy the evergreen grove and fruit orchard. In addition, photovoltaic panels are integrated into the south-facing areas of the project, providing enough energy to power all common areas and exterior lighting. Rainwater is collected on-site and recycled for irrigation of the gardens throughout the year. In support of the Department of Health’s Fit City initiative to promote physical fitness, stairs are located near elevators and are designed as colorful interior spaces with natural light and ventilation. The project is on track to receive LEED® Gold certification.
