Permits have been filed for the construction of a 12-story building with 54 units at 2260 Morris Ave. in the Fordham Heights section of the Bronx.
The proposed building would be 112 feet tall and yield 36,161 square feet of space. With an average unit scope of 669 square feet, the 54 residences will most likely be rentals.
Other planned features for the building include a cellar and a rear yard 55 feet long. The property is within close proximity to the Mabel Hampton Playground, Walton Park, KIPP Freedom Elementary School, P.S./M.S. 363 The Academy for Personal Leadership and Excellence, the St. Simon Stock School, the School for Environmental Citizenship, P.S./M.S. 279 Captain Manuel Rivera Jr. and P.S. 79 Creston Academy. There is also convenient access to mass transportation nearby. The 183rd Street subway station services the 4 train and the 182nd-183rd Street station services the B and D trains. There are also bus stops within close proximity to the property for the Bx1, Bx2 and Bx32 lines.
The building applications were submitted by Aglin Zefi. The architect of record is listed as Badaly Engineering PLLC.
The property was previously occupied by the Morris Super Laundromat. Demolition permits were filed to take down the 1-story building occupying 2260 Morris Ave. in March. An estimated completion date for construction has not yet been provided.
