Permits have been filed for a four-story residential building at 890 East 169th Street in Longwood, The Bronx. Located between Home Street and Rev. James A. Polite Avenue, the lot is closest to the Freeman Street subway station, served by the 2 and 5 trains. Edmond Lulaj is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 50-foot-tall development will yield 6,093 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have nine residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 677 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar and penthouse.
P Georgopoulos Architect 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.

4 stories is a waste. I’m surprised that anywhere in the South Bronx is zoned that low
The lot size probably only allows for a certain buildable square footage. Unfortunately they’d probably need to acquire the neighboring lot to get to a sizable 6+ floor building, and it’s faster and easier to just build on what they have their hands on now.
