Permits have been filed for an eight-story residential building at 3822 Sedgwick Avenue in Kingsbridge Heights, The Bronx. Located between Stevenson Place and Fort Independence Playground, the lot is closest to the 231st Street subway station, served by the 1 train. Sinai Gross is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 20,806 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 30 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 693 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a 20-foot-long rear yard.
Nikolai Katz Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not been filed yet for the residential building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

While I’m glad to see what feels like more and more projects going to firms that are not Badaly or Badaly-esque like Caliendo, Golani and “firms” with “Engineering” in their name, I am concerned about the amount that we are seeing that have EIFS stucco facades and not the bare minimum of pleasant masonry to grace the environment with. Hopefully this one will be an attractive brick building that makes some effort to bkend with the charming neighbors and is a positive for this nice corner of The Bronx.
Nice to see the Bronx getting development projects, (5 borough nyc, etc), but damn that’s a nice “old growth” wooded lot, shame they can’t find a more derelict spot to develop
