Permits have been filed for a four-story residential building at 434 Torry Avenue in Castle Hill, The Bronx. Located between Norton Avenue and Lacombe Avenue, the lot is closest to the Castle Hill Avenue subway station, served by the 6 train. Yitzi Salamon is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 42-foot-tall development will yield 11,303 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 14 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 807 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a 20-foot-long rear yard and seven open parking spaces.
Navkiran Cheema of KMA Designs LLC is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not been filed yet for the residential structure on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

“…the lot is closest to the Castle Hill Avenue subway station, served by the 6 train.”
Which is 24 blocks away, so probably not worth mentioning as much as the fact that its half that distance to the Bruckner Expressway!
Many people who live in that waterfront area of Castle Hill depend on that train station via the Bx22. About a 12 minute ride from that location. Most of the new residents will likely be similarly dependent.
Quaint, but most of these older detached buildings in this area of the Bronx and similar are in poor shape inside. Infestations, mold, leaks, extremely out of date and poor energy efficiency. The similar neighbor to the right looks like it has the original 1950s era windows and the rain gutter is falling off.
Replacing this 3 unit with a 14 unit is decent infill for this more out of the way area.
