Permits have been filed for a seven-story hotel at 975 Washington Avenue in Melrose, The Bronx. Located between East 163rd Street and East 164th Street, the lot is one block north of the Freeman Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Parmod Chadha of Chand White Plains LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 30,017 square feet designated for commercial space. The building will have 98 hotel rooms with an average unit scope of 306 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, three open parking spaces, and 459 enclosed parking spaces.
Michael Kang 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.

459 enclosed parking spaces?
I think we can assume thats a typo.
The Freeman St station is a 30 minute walk from the site. The Metro North is a few feet away. I don’t know why that wasn’t mentioned. And why would a developer with any sense build a hotel in that area? Not even close to enough to Yankee Stadium to justify it.
The courthouses are nearby. Plus there has been a lot of middle and working class housing built. Those people have friends and family who want to visit them. So a small “budget” hotel can work. Case in point – there has been a Days Inn nearby functioning for years.
