Permits have been filed for a nine-story residential building at 176 East 206th Street in Bedford Park, The Bronx. Located between Grand Concourse and East Mosholu Parkway South, the lot is near the Mosholu Parkway subway station, served by the 4 train. Edmond Lekaj of Bond Construction Inc. is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 86-foot-tall development will yield 29,101 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 53 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 549 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and a 41-foot-long rear yard.
Badaly Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed last month for the three-story residential building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Another block permanently marred by the unimaginative, artless prison-block aesthetic of a Badaly “design.”
What a shame this keeps happening. The Bronx is beautiful and this person apparantly couldn’t care less about that.
Between the parapet removals and the ugly boxes designed by Badaly, Caliendo, Geremenia, etc., it is really unfortunate how streetwalls in the Bronx (and elsewhere in NYC) are gradually losing their beauty
That’s kind of a shame, those houses are unique and a Badaly Box will certainly begin ruining an otherwise nice block.
