Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 8-story, mixed-use building at 2135 Colonial Avenue in the Pelham Bay section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

 

Located between East 196th Street and Pelham Parkway South, the lot is closest to the Pelham Bay Park subway station, serviced by the 6 train. Moses Freund of The Vaja Group LLC, located at 16 Biret Drive, Airmont, NY 10952, is listed as the owner behind the applications.

 

The proposed 84-foot-tall development will yield 25,169 square feet, with 25,000 square feet designated for residential space and 169 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 42 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 595 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and 30 enclosed parking spaces.

 

S. Wieder Architect is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed earlier this month for the existing, two-story residential building on the site. An estimated completion date has not yet been announced.
