Permits have been filed for a four-story residential building at 779 East 181st Street in Crotona, The Bronx. Located between Mapes Avenue and East 181st Street, the lot is near the West Farms Square-East Tremont Avenue subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Giergj Bujaj is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 50-foot-tall development will yield 6,628 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 12 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 552 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a penthouse and a 20-foot-long rear yard.
GRID Drafting and Consulting 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.
