The Arabella at 4720 Third Avenue, a nine-story residential building in the Belmont section of The Bronx. Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects and developed by Vertical Community Development and Sioni Group, the structure will yield 165 market-rate and affordable units designed by Marin Architects as well as retail space and a collection of amenities in the podium. DeSimone Structural Engineers is the structural engineer, REAL New York is handling leasing and marketing, and OmniBuild Construction is the general contractor for the project, which occupies a trapezoidal plot bound by East 189th Street to the north, East 188th Street to the south, Washington Avenue to the east, and Third Avenue to the west.
The massive reinforced concrete superstructure towers over the neighborhood, rising from a podium that incorporates a tall void with columns supporting multiple terrace decks surrounding the residential volume. This upper portion features an irregular shaped massing with a sharp prow at the confluence of Third Avenue and East 189th Street. Framing work is currently progressing around the orderly grid of floor-to-ceiling windows, which should begin installation in the coming weeks.
Residential amenities will sit on the third level and include a fitness center, study rooms, a lounge, 24/7 security with access control systems throughout, and an outdoor terrace.
The site is located one block away from the Fordham University campus and the Metro-North station with access to Grand Central Terminal. The nearest subways are the B and D trains at the Fordham Road station to the west along the Grand Concourse. Nearby attractions include the Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo.
4720 Third Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for the second quarter of 2024. The number of affordable units has yet to be publicly disclosed by the developers.
