New Six-Story Residential Building Planned for Olinville, The Bronx
Permits have been officially filed for a new six-story residential building slated to rise at 3728 Bronx Blvd in Olinville, The Bronx. This exciting development is expected to greatly enhance the local housing market and provide new residential options in an increasingly urban area.
The proposed building will stand at a height of 76 feet and will occupy a total area of 19,012 square feet. It is designed to include 28 residential units, each with an average size of 679 square feet, suggesting that these will likely be made available as rentals, catering to a wide range of potential residents.
Designed with community access in mind, the plans also feature a rear yard measuring 32 feet long. This outdoor space is expected to provide much-needed recreational areas for future tenants. The location is notably convenient, as it is situated near the 219th Street subway station, which services the 2 and 5 trains. Additionally, several bus stops in the vicinity, particularly for the Bx39 line, improve the site’s accessibility and transit options.
Residents of the new building will benefit from nearby amenities, which include Hyman Park, Olinville Playground, Agnes Haywood Playground, and M.S. 113 Richard R. Green. These facilities provide essential outdoor activities and educational opportunities for families living in the area.
The application for the construction was submitted by Erenik Nezaj, with the architectural plans facilitated by Jakov Saric from Node Architecture, Engineering, Consulting P.C.. Demolition permits for the existing three-story residential structure on the site were filed back in August, paving the way for this new development.
While the timeline for construction completion has not yet been announced, this project represents a significant step forward in addressing the housing needs of The Bronx. It reflects ongoing urban development efforts aimed at revitalizing residential spaces and enhancing community living in this vibrant neighborhood.
