One block northeast of the Intervale Avenue stop on the 2 and 5 trains, new building applications have been filed for a mixed-use structure at 961 Westchester Avenue, in the Bronx’s Foxhurst neighborhood. The building will have a total construction area of just over 35,000 square feet, with 4,937 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor, 6,613 square feet of community facility space on the second floor, and 22,078 square feet of residential space on floors three through seven. The project’s 24 units will average about 910 square feet apiece, possibly indicating condominiums. Panos Vikatos is the site’s architect, and Tony Roussos of Westchester Ave LLA LLC is the developer.

Thank you Google Maps, although colors are deeper from previous.
I have been waiting over 20 years for something on this lot. Tired of it being rat infested and littered with garbage. My area is really improving!!!!!
Condos are not big over here at all. Haven’t seen a new Co op building either. Still a low income rental area. No new houses have been built in years. 7 to 12 stories are the thing now or either 4x8s. A few hotels have opened and one I know for sure became a shelter. This area is not targeted for gentrification yet. It could be the high asthma rate?
