Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, eight-story, residential building at 773 Grote Street in the Belmont section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between Southern Boulevard and Prospect Avenue, the lot is near the West Farms Square East Tremont Avenue subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Luce Popaj, under 773 Grote LLC, is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 95-foot-tall development will yield 22,921 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 34 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 674 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar, a 53-foot-long rear yard, and ten open parking spaces.

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

Demolition permits were filed in March for a two-story residential building on the site. An estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.
