Exterior work is progressing on 1499 Bruckner Boulevard, a seven-story residential building in Soundview, The Bronx. Designed by J Frankl Architects and developed by Bayrock Capital, the 92-foot-tall structure will span 63,784 square feet and yield 135 rental units with an average scope of 216 square feet. The project will also include 34,164 square feet of community facility space. The property is alternately addressed as 1001 Wheeler Avenue and bounded by Wheeler Avenue to the east, Bruckner Boulevard to the south, and Evergreen Avenue to the west.
The superstructure stands topped out and shrouded in scaffolding and blue netting as crews work to install the façade around the grid of windows.

No finalized renderings have been revealed for the project apart from the below axonometric diagrams showing 1499 Bruckner Boulevard’s overall massing. The structure will have an L-shaped configuration with the tallest portion of the superstructure positioned along the corner of Bruckner Boulevard and Evergreen Avenue. A stepped bulkhead caps the roof, while upper-level setbacks will likely be topped with outdoor terraces.

The property was formerly occupied by a one-story auto shop and a surface-level parking lot, as seen in the below Google Street View image from before their demolition.
The nearest subway from the ground-up development is the 6 train at the elevated Elder Avenue station to the north.
An anticipated completion date for 1499 Bruckner Boulevard has not been announced.
