Permits have been filed for a seven-story residential building at 2216 Aqueduct Avenue in University Heights, The Bronx. Located between Buchanan Place and West 182nd Street, the lot is near the 183rd Street subway station, served by the 4 train. Joseph Rukaj under the Plungeri LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 65-foot-tall development will yield 17,258 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 25 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 690 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a 36-foot-long rear yard and eight open parking spaces.
Node Architecture, Engineering, Consulting P.C. 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.

New midrises have replaced nearly all the original SFHs around there in the last five years.
While that’s exactly how the Bronx was developed in the important interwar years (giving us some of the best urbanity in the US), it’s a shame that the replacements are so bland this time around
Preaching to the choir Lowell. Some of these Bronx builds give me nausea. To have so many thoughtless developments marring the beautiful West Bronx is painful to watch. Some are decent, but Badaly level and styrofoam stucco facades should be banished.
Don’t get me going on local law 11 pediment stripping. It’s heartbreaking to see and even more frustrating the city seems to not want to do anything to prevent it.
parapet not pediment
Hey YIMBY you can add that edit post feature anytime now!
I HATE parapet removal with a passion, and I’m quite certain it’s unnecessary considering that it seems to be phenomenon unique to NYC.
Even if the parapet is removed, they could at least include some nice lintels + a band course to prevent it from being completely mutilated looking.
There are a lot of very bland black/grey apartments going up over there!
