Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 8-story, residential building at 233 East 202nd Street in the Jerome Park section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between Grand Concourse and Valentine Avenue, the interior lot is one block from the Bedford Park Boulevard subway station, serviced by the B and D trains. Franc Gjini, under the 2625 Grand Avenue Corp., is listed as the owner behind the applications, according to YIMBY.

The proposed 74-foot-tall development will yield 25,846 square feet designated for residential space. The building will yield 44 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 585 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar and a 30-foot-long rear yard.

Fred Geremia Architects & Planners is listed as the architect of record.

Demolition permits were filed last month for the existing, 2-story residential building on the site. An estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.
