Permits have been filed for a seven-story mixed-use building at 2609 Marion Avenue in Fordham, The Bronx. Located between East 193rd Street and East 194th Street, the lot is near the Kingsbridge Road subway station, served by the B and D trains. Leapold Zicherman is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 35,382 square feet, with 29,793 square feet designated for residential space and 5, 589 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 52 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 572 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar.
Lester Katz of XPdite Group LLC 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.

This architect also works at DXA Studio so I think we should expect something at least competant in appearance unlike something at the hands of Badaly or some other hack firm.
Notice the 70’s RV in the Google street view😅, luv it!, (looks like someone is living in it too). To go from a squalid junkyard lot, to a new 7 story bldg is an improvement by any metric, hopefully it’s a nice design, (why no concept rendering!?)
