Permits have been filed for a nine-story residential building to be used for affordable senior housing at 1356 Fulton Avenue in Morrisania, The Bronx. Located between East 169th Street and East 170th Street, the lot is near the Freeman Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Cornelia Narovici is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 95-foot-tall development will yield 101,539 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 152 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 668 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 30-foot-long rear yard, 15 open parking spaces, and eight enclosed parking spaces.
Saky Yakas 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.

This architect is with SLCE — NYC’s most okayist arch firm — and his previous buildings seem mostly inoffensive with the outlying exception being that grey and darthy Sugar Hill building which is dystopic masquerading as edgy. Hoping for the best here.
It should have zero parking spots
Location is more than 15 blocks from the Freeman Ave station. it is not near a subway and maybe that is why residents would like some parking.
