Sonia Sotomayor in the context of Bronxdale Houses

The Justice Sonia Sotomayor Houses and Community Center is a housing project in Soundview, The Bronx, New York City. Formerly known as the Bronxdale Houses, the project was renamed in honor of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who had spent part of her childhood in the development, in June 2010. The complex was originally opened in January 1955. The 28-building complex includes close to 1,500 apartments that house about 3,500 residents. The 30.77-acre development is bordered by Bruckner Boulevard and Watson, Soundview and Leland Avenues. The then named Bronxdale Houses played a vital part in the origins of early Hip-Hop Culture and music with the contributions of notable resident Disco King Mario, and the Black Spades.
