Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, eight-story, mixed-use building at 53 East 177th Street in the Mt. Hope section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.
Located at the intersection of Walton Avenue and East 177th Street, the lot is within walking distance of the Tremont Avenue subway station, serviced by the B and D trains. Mike Schwartz is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 84-foot-tall development will yield 52,359 square feet, with 50,520 square feet designated for residential space and 1,838 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 81 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 623 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have open space but no accessory parking.
Nikolai Katz Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not yet been filed for the existing parking lot at the site and an estimated completion date has not yet been announced.
