A new rendering has been revealed for 2740 Webster Avenue, a 12-story dormitory for Fordham University in Fordham, The Bronx. Designed by Aufgang Architects and developed in a joint venture between Maddd Equities and Stagg Group, the 130-foot-tall structure will span 215,129 square feet and yield 162 units with a capacity of 600 students. Based on these figures, the units will likely consist mostly of multi-room suites. The project will also include a 20-foot-long rear yard, according to permits filed by RYTY Home Builders in late November. The 10,000-square-foot property is located at the intersection of Webster Avenue and East 197th Street.
The rendering previews the wide western elevation, showing a multifaceted massing with a kink aligned to the angle in Webster Avenue. The façade will be composed of dark red paneling forming an irregular pattern over floor-to-ceiling windows on the northern and southern ends of the building and in two columns near its center. Floors two through eight in the middle will be clad in black metal and ribbon windows, while the upper four stories above the setback will utilize a contrasting light gray envelope framing a tight grid of narrow windows. The ground floor will feature expansive glass for the street frontage.
The site is currently occupied by a surface-level parking lot. Jorge Madruga purchased the property from Edward Nerenberg for $10.3 million.
