From a Visionary Idea to a Regional Destination
What was once a mix of state-owned institutional land, industrial space, and neglected parcels has been reimagined into the Hutchinson Metro Center. Developed in the early 2000s by Simone Development Companies, this 42-acre powerhouse has redefined the economic landscape of the East Bronx and the surrounding region.
Today, the center serves as a premier hub where world-class healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, and professional office environments converge.
The Hutchinson Metro Center has consistently set the standard for innovation in the Bronx, introducing concepts that were once considered revolutionary:
The First Class A Office Conversion:
By transforming a run-down institutional property into a sleek, glass-clad professional center, the Hutchinson Metro Center proved that the Bronx was a viable destination for Class A corporate and medical headquarters
The First “Bedless Hospital”:
Long before outpatient care became the global standard, the Hutchinson Metro Center welcomed Montefiore Einstein’s ambulatory care center, a 280,000-square-foot tower—the first of its kind in the region. By stripping away the traditional overnight hospital-stay model in favor of a specialized, high-tech surgical and specialty center, it paved the way for the future of modern healthcare
The First Nationally Branded Hotel:
The addition of a Residence Inn by Marriott at the Hutchinson Metro Center marked the first time a major internationally recognized hotel brand opened its doors in the Bronx. This move established a new standard for hospitality in the borough, creating a true business and tourist-class destination for professionals and visitors alikeThis legacy of ambitious ‘firsts’ has created more than just a campus; it has established a proven ecosystem of success where the region’s most prestigious institutions and businesses continue to thrive. With the addition of a new Metro-North station currently under construction that will connect riders to Penn Station in just 20 minutes, this evolution continues as the campus is further cemented as a cornerstone of growth for the entire Tri-State region.
