Project Overview

The new NYPD 40th Precinct replaces the department’s former station house, which had served the Mott Haven community since 1923. The approximately 43,500 SF facility provides a modern headquarters designed to support evolving police operations, training, wellness, emergency response, and community engagement in the South Bronx.

Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, the precinct is organized as a series of stacked volumes that separate key program areas while creating a distinctive civic presence. Its exterior combines sandblasted concrete with large rectangular windows, referencing the solid masonry character of historic New York City police stations while presenting a more open and contemporary identity.

Public Safety Operations

Purpose-built administrative, training, storage, vehicle, and emergency-response spaces support the precinct’s daily operations.

Community Engagement

A separately accessible street-level meeting room provides dedicated space for community programs, classes, events, and information sharing.

Training + Wellness

Physical fitness areas, an outdoor exercise courtyard, and dedicated training spaces support officer development and wellness.
