School leadership, students, former NY Knick John Wallace, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson and the project team celebrated the topping out for the $35-million Earl Monroe New Renaissance Basketball School in the South Bronx. Reportedly it will be the first of its kind in the nation: a purpose-built, specialized high school with an academic curriculum designed around basketball and the many career paths associated with the global game.
Design architect ESKW/Architects and executive architect IMC Architecture designed the new five-story building, scheduled to open its doors in 2026. The new school is located at 647 Elton Ave. in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx. The school will operate under a long-term lease from developer Pillar Property Management.
“This event is a celebration of more than three years of hard work by an incredibly talented real estate, design and construction team,” said Pillar Property Management principal Kiumarz Geula.
