Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings for a new 6-story, residential building at 3991 Saxon Avenue in the Van Cortlandt Village section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between Sedgwick Avenue and Van Cortlandt Park South, the lot is a 4-minute walk from Mosholu Parkway subway station, serviced by the 4 train. Leunard Vushaj is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 55-foot tall development will yield 11,813 square feet designated for residential space. According to YIMBY, the building will have 17 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 694 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar and 46-foot-long rear yard.

Badaly Architects is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed in May 2021, and an estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.
