Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 7-story, mixed-use building at 2039 Westchester Avenue in the Parkchester section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY. Located between Pugsley Avenue and Olmstead Avenue, the lot is within walking distance of the Castle Hill Avenue subway station, serviced by the 6 train. Jai Patel of PHG Construction Corp. is listed as the owner behind the applications, according to YIMBY.

 

The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 19,056 square feet, with 12,923 square feet designated for residential space, 3,138 square feet for commercial space, and 2,994 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 19 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 680 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 20-foot-long rear yard, and ten enclosed parking spaces.

 

ABC Engineering is listed as the architect of record.

 

Demolition permits were filed in July 2021 for the existing, two-story, residential building on the site. An estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.
