New permits have been filed for an eight-story residential building at 1771 Weeks Avenue in Mount Hope, The Bronx. Located between East 175th Street and Cross Bronx Expressway, the lot is near the 174-175th street subway station, serviced by the D train. Darwin Torres is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 35,989 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 59 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 609 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar and a 30-foot-long rear yard.
John Alleyne of Becall Engineering Services 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.

“Becall Engineering Services is listed as the architect of record.”
Zero confidence this will be pleasing to the eye.
A overbuilt neighborhood without parks.
True if you don’t include 40 acre Claremont Park a 1/4 mile down the street or Echo Park about the same distance north on Tremont.
Permits filed? You mean permits renewed! This building is largely complete, just check out google 3d showign a red brick box on the site – the google image in this post is from 2022.
