Simone Development Companies announced that the New York City School Construction Authority has signed a long-term lease to establish the new Bronx STEAM Center in 54,245 square feet across two floors at the Hutchinson Metro Center Atrium, a three-story, 361,857 square-foot mixed-use property located at 1776 Eastchester Rd. in the Bronx.
The new lease marks a major public-private investment in career-connected education for Bronx students, with Bronx STEAM and Montefiore Medical Center partnering to launch offerings in high‑demand healthcare and technology pathways, including Certified Nursing Assistant, Cybersecurity and Medical Assisting.
“Bringing the Bronx STEAM Center to the Hutchinson Metro Center is incredibly meaningful not only for participating students and for our campus, but for the borough as a whole,” said Joe Simone, president of Simone Development Companies. “This transformative project is more than a new educational facility. It reflects the power of public-private collaboration to create long-term opportunities in the Bronx.”
