Permits have been filed for an eight-story residential building at 2159 Mapes Avenue in East Tremont, The Bronx. Located between East 181st Street and East 182nd Street, the lot is near the East 180th Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Gregory Harvey of Masani Holding Company Corp. is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 80-foot-tall development will yield 16,716 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 18 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 928 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and a 37-foot-long rear yard.
Gerald Caliendo Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in November 2022 for the two-story building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

I love to see a dense building replace a post-fires 1-2 family placeholder like this. I don’t love that its coming in the form of a Caliendo special. Hope for the best I guess.
Agreed. They are starting to tear these down in various locations. Many aged poorly and more dense construction is better land use in general.
One step closer to restoring what this area was before the bottom fell out in the 70’s.
Agreed. I wish they would build over these post-arson wave houses instead of the historic ones that they often do.
Yes yes i like it. Thank you.
My client sold that house.
My client sold that house. Never knew they were replacing attached houses?
This is a post fire house, there used to be a 5 story building there most likely.
I wish they would replace these post-arson wave townhouses from the 80s and 90s instead of historic single family and low rise buildings.
