St Philip Neri Apartments completed

The St Philip Neri Apartments on Villa Avenue in the Bronx were recently completed. The development consists of a pair of 100% affordable housing buildings designed for the Association of Catholic Charities. Located diagonally across from one another on the former parking lot of the neighboring St Philip Neri Church, Think!’s design considers the two buildings as a family, with a strong connection to one another pragmatically, socially and architecturally.

3054 Villa Avenue is 75,000 sq ft with 101 residential units over 14 stories and 3069 Villa Avenue is 59,400 sq ft with 85 residential units over 12 stories, a total of 186 units. 93 of the units are for supportive housing tenants served by the Catholic Charities Community Services Beacon of Hope Program.

Think!’s design for the buildings was recently recognized with a Design Award of Excellence at the 2025 SARA NY Awards.
