Bronx-based K.O. Construction Corp. has filed applications for two single-story, 4,320-square-foot commercial-retail buildings at 654 Beach Avenue and 1806 Seward Avenue, in the East Bronx’s Classon Point section. Both would rise 18 feet in height and would contain “retail stores,” according to the Schedule A. Kenneth A. Koons’s Bronx-based architectural firm is the architect of record. They would rise on a vacant 8,984-square-foot property on the corner of Seward and Beach avenues, which would be subdivided into two tax lots. The site is located roughly a mile south of the St. Lawrence Avenue stop on the 6 train.

The area needs retail, but there should have been a couple stories of housing built on top. I really hope that these are built to the sidewalk at least.
