Azimuth Development Group has transferred ownership of a school facility in the East Bronx to Equality Charter School. Azimuth President Guido Subotovsky signed a $54.5 million deed transfer of 801 Bartholdi Street to the tuition-free public school, according to property records. The property appears to have been a build-to-suit construction job for Azimuth and was completed in 2025.
The 63,000-square-foot facility will serve as an elementary school. It contains two cafeterias, a gymnasium, and 6,000 square feet of recreational space on the rooftop, and can accommodate 900 students, according to Azimuth's website. Equality Charter School currently operates an elementary school at 3901 White Plains Road, a middle school at 4140 Hutchinson River Parkway East, and a high school at 2141 Seward Avenue, all in the Bronx.
The sale adds to Azimuth's track record in educational and community-focused projects. Founded in 2009 by Subotovsky, the firm says it has built over 1 million square feet of mixed-use developments in the five boroughs. Azimuth previously teamed with Joy Construction on a $140 million mixed-income development at 2069 Bruckner Boulevard, where it leased 12,000 square feet to The Village School in June 2025.
It remains unclear who brokered the Bartholdi Street deal, and spokespeople for Azimuth and Equality Charter School did not immediately respond to requests for comment. It is also unknown whether the school's administration will consolidate any of its existing Bronx facilities into the new location.
