Permits have been filed for an eight-story residential building at 3963 Saxon Avenue in Kingsbridge Heights, The Bronx. Located between Sedgwick Avenue and Van Cortlandt Park South, the interior lot is near the Mosholu Parkway subway station, served by the 4 train. Yosef Beer is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 31,967 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 38 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 841 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have two enclosed parking spaces.
Nikolai Katz Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in February for the two-story building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Let’s hope this won’t be terrible.
I didn’t realize these blocks were R7! I expect to see a lot more of this
I worry when I see the planned height is under a minimum one floor=10 feet since that is usually the mark of Badaly level of design and a bad sign. But from what I’ve seen this Nikolai Katz seems to produce decent work so I’m hopefully. Kingsbridge Heights has so much potential and room for improvement, but there’s beem a lot of really bad soul crushing buildings replace SFH’s up there in the last decade or so.
