A historic rowhouse at 427 E. 140th Street in Mott Haven has been redeveloped as The William, a residential condominium project comprising 10 residences. The project combines the retention of the original building’s historic framework with a complementary new-construction addition, creating a residential development that brings together architectural preservation and contemporary design.
The development team describes the project as the culmination of a lengthy restoration and redevelopment process intended to retain the character of the original property while adapting it for modern residential use. The result offers a local example of how an older building can be incorporated into a new housing development rather than treating the existing structure as something that must be entirely replaced.
The property stands within the Mott Haven East Historic District, an area recognized for its collection of late-19th-century residential architecture. Records from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission identify 427 E. 140th Street as a Romanesque Revival / Renaissance Revival-style rowhouse designed by architect Walter H. C. Hornum and built between 1897 and 1900.
The William brings renewed attention to the building’s architectural heritage while introducing a 10-residence condominium format to the property. Its redevelopment also highlights several subjects relevant to the Bronx real estate market, including the adaptation of historic buildings, the design of modern residences within an established neighborhood, and the range of housing types being developed across the South Bronx.

A year and a half into Trump’s second term, crypto has gone from outsider asset to a real White House priority. The president’s finances are tied up in the boom, too, as the average American can feel the movements as well.
Ever since Donald Trump stepped back into the White House, Bitcoin’s rollercoaster has mostly come down to policy, not just hype. We’re talking about everything from a brand-new strategic reserve to fresh legislation. Over the last year and a half, the federal government shifted gears, treating digital assets as something you can build around, not just a fringe experiment.
You see that shift reflected in crypto prices. Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem, reports Bitcoin hit $83,376.06 on September 25, 2026, way up from the start of the year. Anyone who’s glued to the market knows you can watch cryptocurrency prices move by the second over on Binance’s live page, where it becomes obvious how the price and the policies at the White House are interlinked.
What exactly has Trump done to make things more crypto-friendly?
Back in March 2025, Trump signed an executive order to create the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. It’s funded with Bitcoin the Treasury already seized, along with a separate Digital Asset Stockpile for other coins, according to a public released statement from the White House. Just a few months later, in July 2025, came the GENIUS Act, which let banks, credit unions and nonbank firms issue stablecoins under federal rules.
The big moment came on August 20, 2026, when Trump pulled industry heavyweights, including Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong, the Winklevoss twins and more, into the White House to push Congress…

Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from the Indiana Fever’s victory over the Chicago Sky after a courtside confrontation. Freedom was wearing a shirt that read “WOMAN noun. adult human female.” Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud approached him during a timeout, yelling and pointing. Freedom stood with his arms outstretched before security and officials removed him from the arena.
Freedom later stated that he was kicked out for supporting women and protecting women’s sports. He has already declared himself eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft specifically to highlight that the league’s rules do not clearly define the word “woman.” The incident captures the central contradiction now running through women’s athletics: stating a basic biological fact is treated as a provocation, while the erasure of sex-based categories is treated as progress.
The Shirt & The Reaction
The message on Freedom’s shirt is a dictionary definition. It is not a slur. It is not a call for violence. It is the ordinary meaning of the word that has existed for centuries. Yet in the current climate of professional women’s basketball, that definition is radioactive. Natasha Cloud’s decision to confront Freedom courtside turned a silent statement into a public spectacle. Security then removed the man wearing the shirt rather than the player who initiated the confrontation.
Freedom’s response was consistent with his record. He has spoken repeatedly about the importance of protecting female athletes from the physical advantages that male…
