Yesterday, new building applications were filed for a six-story, market-rate apartment building at 712 East 175th Street.

Seven-Story, 50-Unit Condominium Project Now Planned At 221 East 138th Street, Mott Haven

1:00 pm on March 14, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In June of 2015, YIMBY reported on applications for a 10-story, 57-unit mixed-income rental project at 221 East 138th Street, in Mott Haven, but now Tahoe Development is swapping plans for a seven-story, 50-unit market-rate condominium building. Welcome2TheBronx reports the developer is abandoning plans to include affordable units due to cost concerns. It would also be the first market-rate condo project in the South Bronx since the 2008 financial crisis. The condos will come in studio, one-, and two-bedroom layouts, and the new building will contain ground-floor retail space as previously planned. Hudson Square’s Michael Muroff Architect is the architect of record. The existing two-story warehouse is currently being demolished.

Connecticut-based property owner Gjin Gjini has filed applications for a three-story, three-unit residential building at 1605 Taylor Avenue, in the Van Nest section of the Bronx, located five blocks from the East 180th Street stop on the 2 and 5 trains. The project will measure just 3,740 square feet and would rise on a vacant 25-foot-wide lot. There will be 2,805 square feet of residential space, so the full-floor residential units should average 935 square feet apiece. That means relatively spacious rental units are probably in the works. Long Island-based Shahriar Afshari is the applicant of record.
