Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, four-story residential building at 2527 Grand Avenue in the Fordham Manor section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between West 190th Street and West 192nd Street, the lot is closest to the Fordham Road subway station, serviced by the 4 train. Ascher Berkowitz of Big Dream Developers is listed as the owner behind the applications according to YIMBY.

The proposed 55-foot-tall development will yield 16,735 square feet designated for residential space and the building will yield 24 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 697 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a penthouse, a 36.5-foot-long rear yard, and 13 open parking spaces.

Nikolai Katz Architects is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits have not yet been filed for the existing structure on the site and an estimated completion date has not been announced.
