Building permit applications have been filed with NewYork City Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, eight-story, residential building located at 2678 Creston Avenue in the Fordham Manor section of the Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between East Kingsbridge Road and East 196th Street, the lot is within walking distance of two Kingsbridge Road subway stations, serviced by the B, D, and 4 trains. Ben Zahler, under 2678-2680 Creston LLC, is listed as the owner behind the applications.

According to YIMBY, the proposed 80-foot-tall development will yield 33,780 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 54 residences, most likely rentals based on an average unit scope of 625 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a 23-foot-long rear yard but no accessory parking.

P. Georgopoulos Architect is listed as the architect of record.

Demolition permits were filed in October for the three-story residential building currently at the site. An estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.
