Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 8-story, residential building at 3822 Sedgwick Avenue in the Van Cortlandt Village section of The Bronx.
Located between Stevenson Place and Fort Independence Playground, the lot is closest to the 231st Street subway station, served by the 1 train. Sinai Gross is listed as the owner behind the applications, according to YIMBY.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 20,806 square feet designated for residential space and the building will yield 30 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 693 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a 20-foot-long rear yard.
Nikolai Katz Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not yet been filed for the existing residential building and an estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
