Permits have been filed for a seven-story mixed-use building at 1334 Southern Boulevard in Cortona Park East, The Bronx. Located between Jennings and Freeman Streets, the lot is one block north of the Freeman Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Marsel Bitanji of B&B 2 Builders LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 70-foot-tall development will yield 19,021 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 29 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 655 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have 40-foot-long rear yard and retail space on the ground floor.
Node Architecture Engineering Consulting PC is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in March for the single-story commercial building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.
