Mott Haven is a neighborhood rich with culture, character, and a commitment to community preservation. Bordered by Melrose, Port Morris, and Hunts Point, Mott Haven is located along the Harlem River with primary commercial corridors located on 138th Street, Bruckner Boulevard, and additional side streets. Situated between two of New York City’s busiest retail corridors — 125th Street in Harlem and the Hub in Melrose — Mott Haven has been the historic home for many first-generation immigrant communities dating back to the early founding of the Bronx.

Mott Haven is experiencing positive change thanks to the work of numerous community organizations. Historically a low-density neighborhood with a mix of light industrial and residential uses, More than a dozen new mixed-income residential towers are currently being built, mostly in the southwestern corner along the Harlem River and next to the bridges that connect to Manhattan. The projected population increase in the next few years will provide an opportunity for the neighborhood’s businesses to capture a new market.

These new public and private investments will continue to bring opportunity to the neighborhood and its residents. As merchant organizing continues on each commercial corridor, it is important that these corridors work together to ensure that the neighborhood can retain the existing community and culture while also developing opportunities for new business growth.
