Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, five-story residential building at 2556 Briggs Avenue in the Fordham Manor section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between East Kingsbridge Road and East 194th Street, the lot is near the Kingsbridge Road subway station, serviced by the B and D trains. Moses Freund of The Vaja Group is listed as the owner behind the applications, according to YIMBY.

The proposed 68-foot-tall development will yield 21,224 square feet, designated for residential space. The building will have 31 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 684 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 32-foot-long rear yard, a basement, and 16 enclosed parking spaces.

S Wieder Architect is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.
