Building applications have been filed with NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) for a new, seven-story, residential building at 1015 East Gun Hill Road in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx, as reported by YIMBY.

 

Located between Laconia Avenue and Paulding Avenue, the lot is near the Gun Hill Road subway station, serviced by the 2 and 5 trains. Kodra Construction is listed as the owner behind the applications.

 

The proposed, 65-foot-tall development will yield 55,771 square feet, designated for residential space, according to YIMBY. The building will have 84 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 663 square feet. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar, a 65-foot-long rear yard, and 29 open parking spaces.

 

Node Architecture Engineering Consulting is listed as the architect of record.

 

Demolition permits were filed in October for the one-story building currently located on the site, and an estimated completion date for the new building has not yet been announced.
