A new rendering reveals 1933 Lafayette Avenue, a forthcoming 22-story residential building in Unionport, The Bronx. Designed by Magnusson Architecture and Planning and developed by Dimitrios Katehis of HP Park Lane Family HDFC, Inc., the structure will rise 226 feet tall and yield a total of 154,600 square feet designated for residential space. Inside will be 207 rental units averaging 746 square feet, as well as a cellar level, 45 open parking spaces, and 61 enclosed parking spaces. The property is bounded by Lafayette Avenue to the south, White Plains Road to the west, Turbull Avenue to the north, and the adjacent 14-story 1940 Turbull Avenue to the northeast.
The above main rendering provides an aerial perspective oriented looking southeast at the structure, which has a relatively simple rectangular massing featuring a number of setbacks spread across the upper levels. Each of which are lined with shrubbery and glass railings. The exterior cladding is a light-colored envelope, which will presumably use brickwork with a mix of metal spandrels between the grid of windows. A pair of rooftop photovoltaic system is visible atop the two bulkheads above the flat parapet. New tree-lined sidewalks will surround the site.
Below is a Google Maps street view image oriented looking northeast the existing surface-level parking lot, which would be fully removed and replaced by the upcoming residential project.
The nearest subway stop is the Parkchester station, serviced by the local 6 train. Meanwhile, a bus stop is conveniently located in front of the site along White Plains Road, servicing the Bx5, Bx36, and Bx39 bus routes.
An anticipated start and completion date for 1933 Lafayette Avenue awaits to be publicly announced. It’s unclear how many of the units will be designated as affordable housing and their income requirements, and what amenities may be offered.
