A rendering has been revealed for Crotona Residence, a six-story residential building at 720 East 187th Street in Belmont, The Bronx. Designed by IMC Architecture, the 34,000-square-foot structure will yield TK affordable housing units with an average scope of TK square feet. The project will also include ground-floor commercial space. The property is located at the intersection of East 187th Street and Crotona Avenue.
The rendering looks southwest at the building, which will feature a straightforward rectangular massing and an orderly grid of punched windows with protruding frames. The entire envelope above the ground floor will be adorned with an eye-catching mural composed of swirling black and white curvilinear patterns. The first story will feature gray brick framing floor-to-ceiling glass for the commercial space.
The property is currently vacant. The site was formerly occupied by a row of one-story storefronts, as seen in the below Google Street View image from before their demolition in 2019.
The nearest subways stops from the ground-up development are the B and D trains at the Fordham Road station to the west and the 2 and 5 trains at the West Farm Square–Tremont Avenue station to the south. Also nearby is the Fordham train station on the Metro-North Railroad.
The project is expected to cost $11 million. A construction timeline has yet to be announced.
