Permits have been filed for a 12-story mixed-use building at 299 East 161st Street for Concourse Village, The Bronx. Located between Concourse Village East and Park Avenue, the interior lot is steps from the Melrose train station on the MetroNorth’s Harlem line. Also nearby is the 161 Street-Yankee Stadium subway station serviced by the B and D trains. Jack Weiss under the Bronx 161 LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 124-foot-tall development will yield 143,653 square feet, with 103,256 square feet designated for residential space and 13,827 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 154 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 670 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 30-foot-long rear yard, and 52 enclosed parking spaces.
Yevgeniy Mekhtiyev of IMC Architecture is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in December 2019. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

It’s raining, sunny, or what will the weather be like? It cannot reduce my interest on development. Right now, I sit and read by myself, not as a team: Thank you.
Finally!
This block is such an eyesore. So much new development along E 161st St.
Hurray!
More Buildings!
More People!
More Density!
More Traffic on our streets, subways and busses, etc.,
While our fragile infrastructure
continues to crumble.
This is the Evil of Rezoning:
One less Family Home.
The is No Planning for our true needs.
Who profits?
Ruthless Real Estate Opportunists.
Who loses?
We The Community.
Shame on all the talentless architects for knocking out another hideous building.
Is this your best work?
Do you have any concept of style?
