Permits have been filed for a 25-story mixed-use building at 671 Brook Avenue in Woodstock, The Bronx. Located at the intersection of East 153rd Street and Brook Avenue, the lot is near the 3rd Avenue-149 Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. BRP Development Corp., listed as the owner behind the applications, is part of a joint partnership to develop five buildings on the Bronxchester Urban Renewal site in the South Bronx.
The proposed 265-foot-tall development will yield 254,900 square feet, with 241,000 square feet designated for residential space, 12,200 square feet for community facility space, and 1,700 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 254 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 948 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar.
MHG Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Woodstock lol!
Not one person out of 50000 will say they live in a neighborhood called Woodstock you yimby fool.
Talk about damaging the public, they kept that site abandoned for decades and everyone had to suffer. Should have been seized.
This development is part of the La Central project. I think that should have been mentioned since it is one of the biggest developments going up in The Bronx right now.
I’m in agreement with Jonathan, I’ve noticed this more and more recently, the site used to do a better job of mentioning when something was part of a larger development. This is also true for the Marcus Garvey Extension project in Brooklyn.
I agree that “Woodstock” is a stretch. But I appreciate the reporting nonetheless. Cheers.
