New permits have been filed for 1755 Watson Avenue in the Soundview neighborhood of The Bronx revealing a 280,000+ square foot building with 326 residential apartments to be constructed on the site.
Located at the corner of Rosedale Avenue and across from where US Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor grew up as well as just a couple of blocks away from the 6 train at St Lawrence, the development is scheduled to break down some time next year.
Not much more details on the 9 story building but this is the second planned development for affordable housing announced in the past several weeks for the general area.
A couple of weeks ago, we reported on another big development planned for the Soundview at Park Lane Apartments on Lafayette and White Plains Road which will have a mix of senior housing along with affordable housing in two separate buildings totalling 425 units.
Combined, these two developments will bring almost 800 units of housing to the area.
Development fever is creeping into community board 9 and we’re curious as to how residents feel about this so do let us know below or on Facebook.
