A building application has been filed with New York City Department of Buildings, for the construction of an eight-story, mixed-use building at 414 East 152nd Street in the Melrose section of The Bronx, according to YIMBY, the architecture, construction, and real estate website on Friday, April 23.

 

Located between Melrose Avenue and 3rd Avenue, the lot is a short walk to the 3rd Avenue-149 Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Shaya Seidenfeld of MZS Realty Corp. is listed as the owner behind the applications.

 

The proposed 75-foot-tall development will yield 43,272 square feet, with 29,712 square feet designated for residential space, 10,130 square feet for commercial space, and 611 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 44 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 675 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar and a 30-foot-long rear yard.

 

Baobab Architects is listed as the architect of record.

 

According to YIMBY, demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant, and an estimated completion date has not yet been announced.
