 The 10-story site would have contained office space for Con Edison and extended south to 188th Street, with 189th Street to be demapped.The project would also include a parking garage, a car dealership, and a scaled-down version of the planned central post office.The project had been proposed in part to stave off blight and economic downturn in the area due to the 1970s fiscal crisis, which had led city officials to try to prevent Fordham University from relocating out of the borough and into Westchester County, in addition to declare Fordham Road the northern boundary of the South Bronx to reduce the stigma of Fordham being associated with the rundown South Bronx.
