Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 7-story, mixed-use building at 1404 Stebbins Avenue, located southeast of Crotona Park East in The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between East 170th Street and Boston Road, the lot is near the Freeman Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Shang Dai of Kuafu Properties is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 73-foot-tall development will yield 66,538 square feet, with 34,070 square feet designated for community facility space and 32,468 square feet for residential space. The building will have 113 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 588 square feet, according to YIMBY. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and a 30-foot-long rear yard.

Aufgang Architects is listed as the architect of record.

Demolition permits have not been filed yet and an estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.
