Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 9-story, mixed-use building at 2180 Walton Avenue in the Fordham Heights section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY. Located between East 182nd Street and Anthony Baez Place, the lot is two blocks west of the 182nd-183rd Streets subway station, serviced by the B and D trains.

Arben Mitaj of Euro Tech Developers is listed as the owner behind the applications, according to YIMBY.

The proposed 82-foot-tall development will yield 38,251 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 63 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 607 square feet.

The masonry-based structure will also have a 30-foot-long rear yard but no accessory parking. Badaly Architects 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 been announced.
