Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 8-story, residential building at 2071 Ryer Avenue in the Fordham Heights section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between East 180th Street and East Burnside Avenue, the lot is two blocks from the 182nd-183rd Streets subway station, serviced by the B and D trains. Joel Friedman is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 80-foot-tall development will yield 14,257 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 24 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 594 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a 39-foot-long rear yard but no accessory parking.

Leonid Krupnik is listed as the architect of record.

Demolition permits were filed last month for the 2-story building on the site. An estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.
