Permits have been filed for a three-story mixed-use building at 1953 Wallace Avenue in Van Nest, The Bronx. Located between Rhinelander Avenue and Bronxdale Avenue, the lot is five blocks east of the Bronx Park East subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Marricco Family Limited is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Property owner Imran Iqbal has filed applications for a three-story, two-unit residential building at 633 Mead Street, located in the Van Nest section of the East Bronx. The structure will measure 3,489 square feet and the apartments should average 1,333.5 square feet apiece, indicative of family-sized configurations. They will be duplexes, with one unit located on the ground floor and part of the second, while the second will take up the rest of the second floor and the entire third. Amenities include two off-street parking spots and storage space in the cellar. Kenneth A. Koon’s Bronx-based architectural firm is the architect of record. The 25-foot-wide, 2,500-square-foot plot is vacant. The East 180th Street stop on the 2 and 5 trains is located eight blocks away.
Bronx-based property owner Nissan Cohen has filed applications for a three-story, eight-unit mixed-use building at 841A Morris Park Avenue, in Van Nest, located eight blocks from the Bronx Park East stop on the 2/5 trains. The structure will encompass 10,130 square feet and will feature 1,336 square feet of ground-floor retail space, in addition to a 389 square-foot doctors office, also located on the ground floor. The residential units will be located on the second and third floors and will average a rental-sized 714 square feet apiece. Jamaica-based Gerald Caliendo is the architect of record. The 51-foot-wide, 4,914-square-foot lot is currently vacant.
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.
Bronx-based Marricco Family Limited Partnership has filed applications for a three-story, six-unit residential building at 1857 Barnes Avenue, in Van Nest, located seven blocks from the Bronx Park East stop on the 2 and 5 trains. The structure will encompass 8,270 square feet, although its residential space will measure 6,226 square feet. That means units will average 1,038 square feet apiece, which is relatively spacious and indicative of market-rate apartments. College Point-based Gino Longo is the architect of record. The site consists of a 55-foot-wide parcel, and demolition permits were filed in December to remove an existing two-story townhouse.
