Construction has partially topped out on 315 Grand Concourse, a 13-story residential building in Mott Haven, The Bronx. Designed by Fischer Makooi Architects for Yechial Lichtenstein of Mint Development Corp., the 134-foot-tall structure will span 192,026 square feet and yield 240 rental units with an average scope of 770 square feet, as well as 7,040 square feet of commercial space, a 44-foot-long rear yard, and enclosed parking for 82 vehicles. The property is located on a triangular parcel bound by Grand Concourse, Walton Avenue, and East 140th Street.
Recent photos show the main volume of the reinforced concrete superstructure built to its pinnacle on the southern half of the plot. Exterior work is progressing behind a dense assembly of scaffolding and construction netting, with the grid of windows already in place. Meanwhile, excavation and foundations are still ongoing for the secondary volume of the building on the northern corner of the lot. Based on the pace of work, this component could potentially top out in late spring or early summer.
The property was formerly occupied by a low-rise commercial building, as seen in the following Google Street View image from Grand Concourse.
The main rendering shows the rear western elevation along Walton Avenue, depicting the main bulk of the project that has already topped out. The building features a multifaceted massing with stepped setbacks on the northern half and an expansive terrace at the 11th story of the southern end. The façade is composed of various shades of gray metal paneling along with what appears to be white brick. Glass railings line the flat parapet, suggesting the presence of a roof deck.
The northern volume that has yet to rise above street level is absent from the rendering, and its dimensions and appearance remain unclear.
The nearest subways from the development are the 4 and 5 trains at the 138th Street-Grand Concourse station to the south.
315 Grand Concourse’s anticipated completion date is slated for fall 2025, as noted on site.
