Permits have been filed for an eight-story school building at 283 Walton Avenue in Mott Haven, The Bronx. Located between East 138th Street and East 140th Street, the lot is near the 138th Street–Grand Concourse subway station, served by the 4 and 5 trains. Samreen Khan is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 125-foot-tall development will yield 163,683 square feet designated for community facility space. The building will have a cafeteria, gym, and theater with fixed seating components. The steel-based structure will also have a recreational rooftop.
Matthew McChesney of KSS Architects LLP 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.
