Permits have been filed for the construction of a 15-story residential building with 99 housing units at 23 Mount Hope Pl. in the Mount Hope section of the Bronx.
The proposed building would be 145 feet tall and yield 155,933 square feet of space. With an average unit scope of 633 square feet, the 99 residences will most likely be rentals.
While accessory parking would not be featured at the property, there are plans for a rear yard and a cellar. The property provides convenient access to mass transportation, thanks in large part to the nearby 176th Street subway station, which services the 4 train. There are also bus stops in the area for the Bx1, Bx2, Bx32 and Bx36.
Several schools are within close proximity to 23 Mount Hope Pl., including M.S. 331 The Bronx School of Young Leaders, P.S. 236 Langston Hughes, I.S. 117 Joseph H. Wade Academies, the Academy for Language and Technology, P.S. 204 Morris Heights and I.S. 232 The Alexander Macomb School. The Mount Hope Playground and Davidson Park are also located nearby.
Joel Brach of Buildhouser Inc. submitted the building applications. The architect of record is listed as Nikolai Katz Architect.
Demolition permits to get rid of the structure currently occupying 23 Mount Hope Pl. have not yet been filed. An estimated completion date for the new building’s construction has not yet been announced.
