Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 4-story, mixed-use building at 115 West 190th Street in the Fordham Manor section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between Webb Avenue and University Avenue, the lot is near the Fordham Road subway station, serviced by the 4 train. Israel Frankel of Isra Holdings is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 54-foot-tall development will yield 26,241 square feet, with 25,346 square feet designated for residential space and 895 square feet for community facility space. The building will yield 37 residential units according to YIMBY, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 685 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar, a 32-foot-long rear yard, 13 open parking spaces, and six enclosed parking spaces.

Boaz M. Golani Architect is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits have not yet been filed for the existing structure. An estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.
