Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, four-story residential building at 2158 Aqueduct Avenue East in the University Heights section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between West 181st Street and Clinton Place, the lot is near the 183rd Street subway station, serviced by the 4 train. Mendy Tessler is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 50-foot-tall development will yield 17,567 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 26 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 675 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar and eight enclosed parking spaces.

Nikolai Katz Architect is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits have not been filed yet, and an estimated completion date has not yet been announced.
