Permits have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new 15-story, mixed-use building at 1298 Inwood Avenue in the Highbridge section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

 

Located between West 169th Street and Clarke Place West, the lot is 3-minute walk from the 170th Street subway station, serviced by the 4 train. David Sjauw under the 1298 Inwood Developers LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.

 

The proposed 162-foot-tall development will yield 123,422 square feet, with 112,439 square feet designated for residential space and 10,983 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 195 residential units as part of a homeless shelter. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and 12 bicycle parking spaces.

 

Curtis & Ginsburg Architects is listed as the architect of record.

 

Demolition permits have not yet been filed for the existing structure and an estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.

 

The building is located within Bronx Community Board 4, and at least one resident had previously voiced her opposition to the shelter, as reported by News 12, and had advocated for such shelters to be located instead in Riverdale and in other richer sections of the borough.
