Permits have been filed to build a 14-story mixed-use building at 1051 Whitlock Avenue in Longwood, The Bronx. Located between East 165th Street and Aldus Street, the lot is one block from the Whitlock Avenue subway station, serviced by the 6 train. Mark Stagg of RYTY Home Builders, LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 145-foot-tall development will yield 205,098 square feet with 195,931 square feet designated for residential space and 9,167 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 251 residences, however the permit calls for a total 516 units on the lot. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar, 39 open parking spaces, and a 30-foot-long rear yard.
Newman Design Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the site is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Glad to see the arson wave lots filled out left and right in the South Bronx
Of course I am too but I do wish we could see more rebuilt density on a granular lot by lot level rather than these enormous block busting affordable human storage container buildings. It goes a long way if the architecture is decent but when it’s kinda bad like Boricua Village for example it’s depressing. That said the West Farms redevelopment buildings look pretty good.
The small, market rate buildings are often even worse.

This was not an arson lot., had dilapidated private garages. This location abuts the El and is a block from the traffic filled Bruckner Expy. Another place for poor people only.
These affordable housing lotteries are far from being “poor people only”, you need to make 6 figures to qualify for many of them.
