Permits have been filed for a two-story residential conversion into a four-story residential development at 1315 Findlay Avenue in Concourse, The Bronx. Located between East 169th and East 170th Streets, the lot is within walking distance of the 170th Street subway station, serviced by the B and D trains. Leo Brody of ZLB is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 53-foot-tall development will yield 8,702 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 19 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 458 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar, a 31-foot-long rear yard, and a penthouse.
Boaz M. Golani Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed since the two-story building on the site is part of the conversion. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Conversions and expansions are so much better for the neighborhood and our climate. As long as the addition is appropriate to the building below, and set back from the facade, this is the model to densify existing neighborhoods.
