Permits Filed for 2672 Heath Avenue in Kingsbridge Heights, The Bronx
Permits have been filed for an eight-story residential building at 2672 Heath Avenue in Kingsbridge Heights, The Bronx. Located between West 193rd Street and West Kingsbridge Road, the lot is near the Kingsbridge Road subway station, served by the 4 train. Arjon Mucejani is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 86-foot-tall development will yield 32,515 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 47 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 691 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar but no accessory parking.
M.S. Savani Architect, PC is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.
Construction Is Complete On The Allen At 247 North Avenue in New Rochelle, New York
Construction is complete at The Allen, a new 28-story mixed-use residential tower located at 247 North Avenue in New Rochelle, New York. Designed by Studio V and developed by LCOR, the structure yields a total of 307 rental apartments in studio to two-bedroom layouts with 31 units reserved for households earning 80 percent area median income (AMI), as well as 2,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and enclosed parking for 257 vehicles. Aspera Studio is the interior designer of the property, which is located on an interior lot bound by Lecount Place to the north and North Avenue to the south.
Our last on-site update back in February 2024 showed the first set of floors rising above street level with the help of a tower crane. Photographs show the entire reinforced concrete superstructure fully clad in the dark uniform brickwork and a grid of windows. Rounded corners are found across the height of the skyscraper, while several upper-level balconies are visible near the roof parapet which is topped with a large bulkhead clad in the same brick material. The multistory podium and main tower are connected by a series of large diagonal columns that wrap around some of the building’s indoor and outdoor amenities.
Among the units are 12 penthouses that come with their own private outdoor space. Residential amenities include co-working spaces, a mail room, a fitness center with a yoga studio, an outdoor swimming pool and sun deck, a two-story sky lounge with an outdoor terrace, a poker room, a billiards table, arcade machines, a pet spa, and bicycle storage. Asprea Studio served as the interior designer.
LCOR acquired a $94 million loan arranged by JLL Capital Markets for the project. The Allen utilizes a geothermal heating and cooling system, the second such building from the developer after LCOR’s other residential development at 1515 Surf Avenue in Coney Island, Brooklyn. The developer also plans to implement the same technology for their upcoming Hoboken Connect development in Hoboken, New Jersey.
The property is located in close proximity to the Metro-North Railroad at the New Rochelle station to the west. Direct access to Penn Station is expected in 2027.
ICE Lodges Arrest Detainer After Criminal Illegal Alien Released by Obama Administration Kills 71-Year-Old in Drinking and Driving Hit-and Run in Orange County, CA
Unfortunately, Governor Newsom’s sanctuary state does not cooperate with ICE
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer, or a request for authorities to hold an illegal alien in custody and turn them over to ICE, for Humberto Munoz-Gatica—a criminal illegal alien—who was driving under the influence and tragically killed Barry William Tutt—a 71-year-old man—in Orange County, California in a hit-and-run wreck on November 7, 2025.
This criminal illegal alien was arrested by the Santa Ana Sheriff’s Office.
“On November 8, ICE lodged an arrest detainer for Humberto Munoz-Gatica, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, after he was arrested by Santa Ana Sheriff’s Office and charged with driving under the influence and hit-and-run. This illegal alien killed Barry William Tutt, a 71-year-old man,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Unfortunately, Gavin Newsom's California is a sanctuary state and does not cooperate with ICE. This is yet another example of sanctuary and open border policies putting American lives at risk.”
Humberto Munoz-Gatica
This illegal alien's rap sheet also includes a conviction for grand theft. Munoz-Gatica entered the U.S. on a tourist visa that expired on August 1, 2008. ICE arrested him for overstaying his visa on January 18, 2011. The Obama administration then RELEASED him into the country.
DHS law enforcement is protecting American communities every day from another senseless tragedy like this taking place in another town, to another family. Victims of illegal alien crime may receive support from the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office by contacting 1-855-488-6423.

New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court extended its administrative stay blocking a lower court order that required the distribution of full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits:
“This decision means millions of Americans will once again be left wondering how they will feed their families.

17 State Landmarks To Be Lit Green in Honor of Veterans and as Part of Operation Green Light
Governor Kathy Hochul today issued a proclamation declaring November 11 as Veterans Day and recognizing November as Veterans Month across New York State. Governor Hochul further directed 17 state landmarks to be illuminated green this evening as part of Operation Green Light, which began in New York State and has spread throughout the country to recognize veterans and service members from all eras of military service.
