Permits have been filed for an eight-story mixed-use building at 2324 Webster Avenue in Belmont, The Bronx. Located between East 184th Street and East 187th Street, the lot is near the 182nd-183rd Streets subway station, served by the B and D trains. Darwin Torres is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 32,325 square feet, with 27,205 square feet designated for residential space and 5,120 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 40 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 680 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar, rooftop terrace, a 38-foot-long side yard, 12 open parking spaces, and 12 enclosed parking spaces.

Becall Engineering Services doesn’t appear to be an architect but a structural engineering and inspection business. Either way, citing an engineer as the designer of a development is almost always a bad sign. Poor Bronx, it’s booming left and right with more new investment and development than it’s seen since the 1960s but for every well designed, well integrated development there seems to be 10 that are absolutely horrendous – thoughtless, cheap, flat, jarring even in their disregard for their beautiful pre-war apartment housing stock they’re surrounded by. And there are a few repeat offender architects that are wreaking havoc. See literally any Badaly project. There was one just yesterday on Mosholu of all places that looks like something you’d see in Pyongyang. Despicable.
Yeah, it’s sad. Is it really that hard to at least use a generic rather than ugly design?
And in this picture, you see another problem: that building on the right had its parapet eviscerated, something that has happened to more and more Bronx buildings since the 2000s
Of course
The new building that just went up to the south at 2306 is typical Badaly barf. Just absolutely absent of care and appeal. An architect how to go out of their way to produce the kind of crap Badaly produces.

Misleading lie. Webster Avenue is nowhere “near” the B and D trains at 182nd Street. Webster Avenue is a valley and the subway is a very long walk up the hill on the Grand Concourse ridge.
It’s almost like they need an elevated train line on Webster or something. I don’t know, call it the 3rd Ave el or something LOL…
