Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) for a 6-story, residential building at 215 West Kingsbridge Road in the Kingsbridge Heights section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY. Located between Heath Avenue and Kingsbridge Terrace, the lot is about a 10-minute walk from the Kingsbridge Road subway station, serviced by the 4 train.
Paul Durgaj of Durgaj Properties Corp is listed as the owner behind the applications, and the proposed 64-foot tall development will yield 14,795 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 23 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 643 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar, a 30-foot long rear yard, and 12 open parking spaces.
Node Architecture Engineering Consulting PC is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed in July 2020 for the existing 3-story building on the site. An estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.

In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts.
