Permits have been filed for a six-story apartment building at 2395 Palisade Avenue in Spuyten Duyvil, The Bronx. Located between the Henry Hudson Bridge and Bradley Terrace, the corner lot is close to the Spuyten Duyvil station on the MetroNorth Hudson line as well as the Spuyten Duyvil Shorefront Park. Michel Perle under the 2395 Palisade LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 70-foot-tall development will yield 49,297 square feet, with 37,683 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 55 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 685 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and 34 enclosed parking spaces.
Kutnicki Bernstein Architects is responsible for the design.
Demolition permits were filed in October of last year. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

This is a gorgeous site in historic SD. I’m hoping for a design that is beautiful whether classic or modern.
Looked like they were trying to rehab it for a while. Site is in a lot worse shape than the Google Photo might suggest, roof falling off and all. I guess the owner finally wised up and realized it probably wasn’t worth the effort. It’s an interesting shaped lot I’m curious to see how they’ll lay it out.
BUILD THE WALL
There was no rehab. This was an intentional demolition without the proper permits, in full view of a traumatized community. It took 11 weeks for DOB to actually look at the permits and impose a full Stop Work Order. Enough time for the Developer to decimate the roof, leaving it open to the destructive elements. All in all a tragedy for Spuyten Duyvil.
THERE SHOULD BE A REGULATION THAT ANY ONE that demos buildings without work permits results in loss rights to build on site for 10 years; loss transferable to whomever subsequently buys the property.
Laws need to be changed to protect communities, not just enable developers. This is especially true for those who are abusive of that community.
What about asbestos? It’s definitely part of the building. How is stairway to station protected. What about adjacent and nearby buildings.
