Applications have been filed with the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) to construct an eight-story residential building at 1616 Crosby Avenue in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx, as reported by YIMBY on March 4.
Located between Middletown Road and Daniel Street, the lot is two blocks south of the Buhre Avenue subway station, serviced by the 6 train. Alfred Mitaj under the First Structure LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 26,797 square feet, with 21,433 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 31 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 691 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar and a 45-foot-long rear yard.
Badaly Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not yet been filed for the existing three-story residential structure on the lot, and no estimated completion date has yet been announced.
