Permits have been filed for a 22-story mixed-use building at 1933 Lafayette Avenue in Unionport, The Bronx. Located between Steve Mercado Stickball Boulevard and White Plains Road, the lot is near the Parkchester subway station, served by the 6 train. Dimitrios Katehis of HP Park Lane Family HDFC, Inc. is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 226-foot-tall development will yield 154,600 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 207 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 746 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, 45 open parking spaces, and 61 enclosed parking spaces.
Christopher Jones of Magnusson Architecture and Planning is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not been filed yet. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

A bus is needed to the subway from that location. Also, a car-centric community.
The subway is needed from that location. A subway to Throgs Neck is something any other functioning alpha city would have accomplished decades ago.
That location would have been primed for massive housing development, had the MTA not failed on its multiple plans to bring a Lafayette Ave subway line.
It already has considerable density that screams for public transit, but the MTA would rather burn its money in Manhattan and cancel any provisions of bringing the SAS to the Bronx, reneging on the promises of the past.
Yup, is a lot of high density housing already with room for much more (and more is being built). Lots of tower in the park development. The SAS should have eventually routed across Lafayette Avenue.
Subway would be great here, a Lafayette Avenue line, but for the time being this is a very quick high frequency bus ride to the 6. Walk is about 20 minutes, bus about 5. SBS Bx6 coming soon.
Most people in that area do not own a car currently and depend on the Bx5, Bx36, and Bx39. One of the locations in NYC that really needs rail.
I like M.A.P.’s work. They built Casa Celina not too far from there, and it looks amazing.
You can find a render at the NY Housing Conference Website.
Thank you, I just checked it out.
Wow, it looks incredible!
It’s these high-quality projects that prove that affordable-housing does not have to be ugly or look cheap.
