Permits have been filed for a six-story affordable housing building at 1405 Boston Road in Morrisania, The Bronx. Located between Prospect Avenue and East 170th Street, the lot is within walking distance of the Freeman Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Frederick Shack of Urban Pathways Inc. is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 60-foot-tall development will have a 51,687-square-foot footprint and 79 affordable housing residences. The concrete-based structure will also have a 24-foot-long rear yard but no accessory parking.
Monica Lopez Architect 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.

The development is actually going to require the beautiful detailed building on the corner to be demolished contrary to what this article claims.
I was wondering how the building could be so large with only 6 stories.
Good to see something finally going to be done on empty lot. Across the street is another good property of vacant businesses.
