Bronx real estate is no longer the “forgotten borough”.


It’s becoming one of NYC’s hottest markets for investors, developers, and entrepreneurs.


In this episode of Broker Brunch, Mitchel Flaherty sits down with Rob Walsh, President of the Bronx Economic Development Corporation (BXEDC), to unpack the biggest projects reshaping the Bronx - from four new Metro North stations and major rezoning efforts to waterfront redevelopment and thousands of new housing units.


Whether you’re an investor looking for your next deal, a developer exploring emerging neighborhoods, or just curious about the Bronx comeback story — this episode will give you the full picture of where the Bronx is heading and why now might be the best time to get involved.
