Building applications have been filed with New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, six-story, mixed-use building located at 3831 Carpenter Avenue in the Williamsbridge section of The Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

Located between East 220th and East 221st Streets, the lot is one block from the 219th Street subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Alban Haxhari of KGCJ Development Corp. is listed as the owner behind the applications.

The proposed 56-foot-tall development will yield 17,776 square feet, with 17,560 square feet designated for residential space and 216 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 30 residential units, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 585 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar, a 35-foot-long rear yard, and nine open parking spaces.

Node Architecture Engineering Consulting is listed as the architect of record. Demolition permits were filed in January for the former, two-story building on the site. An estimated completion date for the new structure has not yet been announced.
