University Heights: Applications Filed with DOB for New 7-Story Building at 2216 Aqueduct Ave

By SÍLE MOLONEY

Applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new 7-story residential building at 2216 Aqueduct Avenue in the University Heights section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between Buchanan Place and West 182nd Street, the lot is near the 183rd Street subway station, served by the 4 train. Joseph Rukaj under the Plungeri LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications, according to YIMBY.

The real estate outlet also reported that the proposed 65-foot-tall development will yield 17,258 square feet designated for residential space, and that the new building will yield 25 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 690 square feet. YIMBY reported that the masonry-based structure will also have a 36-foot-long rear yard and eight open parking spaces.

Node Architecture, Engineering, Consulting P.C. is listed as the architect of record.

Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.
