Construction is finishing up on 700 East 241st Street, an 11-story mixed-use building in Wakefield, The Bronx. Designed by Aufgang Architects and developed by Enclave Equities, the structure yields 416 rental units with an average scope of 916 square feet, including 255 permanently affordable apartments. The project also includes nearly 62,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, office space, a 17,000-square-foot community facility, and more than 100 enclosed parking spaces below grade for occupants and the public. The property is bounded by White Plains Road, East 241st Street, and Furman Avenue.
The following photos show the completed look of the façade, which is primarily composed of red brick and gray metal paneling surrounding a uniform grid of PTAC windows. The levels above the tenth-story setbacks are clad in beige EIFS. Multiple canopies protrude from the ground level, and the parking garage entrance is located at the southern corner of the property along Furman Avenue.
The property was formerly occupied by a gas station and several low-rise properties, as seen in the below Google Street View image from before the start of demolition.
The project was made possible by a 2018 rezoning that changed the block from an M1-1 manufacturing district to an R7D/C2-4 high-density residential designation.
700 East 241st Street is located directly next to the elevated Wakefield–241st Street subway station, which is served by the 2 train.
