Permits have been filed for two six-story buildings at 3254 and 3258 Parkside Place, in the Norwood neighborhood of The Bronx. The site is four blocks away from the Williams Bridge train station, serviced by Metro North. Six blocks away is the 205th Street subway station, serviced by the D trains. The project will also be nearby the notable Woodlawn Cemetery, an expansive collection of some of the most ornate mausoleums and tombstones in the city. UA Builders Group will be responsible for the development.
The two structures will reach a peak height of 71 feet, yielding 77,640 square feet within, with 65,530 square feet dedicated to residential use. 98 apartments will be created, averaging 670 square feet apiece, indicating rentals. F.A.R. for 3254 and 3258 will be 1.35 and 1.57 respectively. Storage for forty-four bicycles will be included in the cellar. The buildings will be crowned by rooftop recreational spaces.

Woodlawn Cemetery is a 400-acre cemetery (FYI – that’s half the size of Central Park) and a designated National Historic Landmark – not “an expansive collection of some of the most ornate mausoleums and tombstones.” We’re talking real people here, some of them quite notable as well.
Real dead.
