Permits have been filed for a five-story residential building at 1435 East Gun Hill Road in Baychester, The Bronx. Located between Adee Avenue and Knapp Street, the lot is a short walk to the Gun Hill Road subway station, serviced by the 5 train. Brian O’Donovan of Excel Wood Holdings LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 50-foot-tall development will yield a total 18,151 square feet. The building will have 20 residences, however it is unclear on the average unit size and whether the units will be rentals or condos. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar, a 45-foot-long rear yard, and ten open parking spaces.
Anthony Somefun 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.

Beautiful building. As a realtor in the neighborhood, I would be very happy to be considered as a prospective client to help furnish the building with qualified clients.
Thanks
