Building applications have been filed with the New York City Department of Buildings for a new, 7-story, mixed-use building at 733 Crotona Park North in the Crotona section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between Clinton and Prospect Avenues, the lot is near the 174th Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and the 5 trains. Elena Borokhovich of Affordable Living NY is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 70-foot-tall development will yield 62,300 square feet, with 49,055 square feet designated for residential space and 13,245 square feet for community facility space. The building will comprise 83 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 591 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a 30-foot-long rear yard and 42 enclosed parking spaces.

Menzak Architect is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is already vacant. An estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.
