Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, 4-story residential building at 61 Buchanan Place in the University Heights section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between Aqueduct Avenue East and Grand Avenue, the lot is a 5-minute walk from the 183rd Street subway station, serviced by the 4 train. Remzi Kurbogaj under the 61 Buchanan LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 64-foot-tall development will yield 6,814 square feet designated for residential space, according to YIMBY. The building will have 12 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 567 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a 32-foot-long rear yard but no accessory parking.

C2B Architects is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant and an estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.
