BRONX, NY (March 2026) – Joe Simone, President of Simone Development Companies, was recently featured in City & State Magazine’s inaugural Who’s Who in Affordable Housing list which showcases the government officials, developers, nonprofit leaders, advocates, attorneys, advisers and activists who are creating and preserving housing for low- or middle-income households.
“Joe Simone’s recent projects reflect a partnership-driven approach to workforce housing across the region. In New Rochelle, his development company partnered to deliver West View Apartments, a 24-story tower with 186 homes reserved for families earning at or below 60% of the area median income. Another joint venture, QWest Towers in Mount Vernon, adds over 200 rentals serving households earning between 40% and 80% of the area median income. In the Bronx, Simone is advancing a 970-unit workforce housing development that will also open over an acre of new public space along the Bronx River,” read the article in City & State.
