Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) to convert a 2-story structure into a 4-story, residential building at 1139 Anderson Avenue in the Highbridge section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between West 166th and West 167th Streets, the lot is a 5-minute walk from the 167th Street subway station, serviced by the 4 train. Steven Westreich of Westorchard Management is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 46-foot-tall development will yield 10,476 square feet designated for residential space, according to YIMBY. The building will have 24 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 436 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a penthouse, cellar, and a 30-foot-long rear yard.

ADB Associates is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits have not been filed yet and an estimated completion date has not yet been announced.
