Building applications have been filed for a seven-story residential building located at 1677 Townsend Avenue in the Tremont section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.
Located between Walton and Jerome Avenues, the 3,333 square-foot lot is close to the 174-175th Streets subway station, serviced by the B and D trains, and the Mt. Eden Avenue subway station, serviced by the 4 train.
Yaakov Lefkowitz of Lefko Capital Group is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 74 foot-tall development will yield 23,173 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 35 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 662 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar but no accessory parking.
Boaz M. Golani Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed last month for a two-story commercial building on the site. An estimated completion date has not yet been announced.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. 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. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
