Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 6-story, residential building at 3728 Bronx Boulevard in the Olinville section of the Bronx according to reporting by YIMBY.
Located between East 216th Street and East 219th Street, the lot is a short walk to the East 219th Street subway station, served by the 2 and 5 trains. Erenik Nezaj is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 76-foot-tall development will yield 19,012 square feet designated for residential space and the building will yield 28 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 679 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a 32-foot-long rear yard.
Jakov Saric of Node Architecture, Engineering, Consulting is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in early August for the existing, three-story residential building on the site and an estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.
