Construction applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 10-story, mixed-use building to be used for senior housing at 2444 Tiebout Avenue in the Fordham Heights section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

 

Located between East 187th Street and East 188th Street, the interior lot is near Fordham Road subway station, serviced by the B and D trains. Comunilife is listed as the owner behind the applications, according to YIMBY.

 

The proposed 70-foot-tall development will yield 55,816 square feet, with 36,469 square feet designated for community facility space and 19,347 square feet for residential space according to the filing, and the building will yield 83 residential units, with an average unit scope of 233 square feet.

 

The concrete-based structure will comprise 15 one-bedroom units and 68 studios, a recreation room with a kitchen, a shared laundry room, and administration and social services offices.

 

Monica Lopez Architect is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant, and an estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.
