Permits have been filed for a seven-story residential building at 1258 Shakespeare Avenue in Highbridge, The Bronx. Located between Jerome Avenue and West 169th Street, the lot is near the 170th Street subway station, serviced by the 4 train. Zev Mayer of Skyrock NYC Development is listed as the owner behind the applications, and is also responsible for permits for the neighboring five-story residential building at 1268 Shakespeare Avenue.
The proposed 70-foot-tall development will yield 48,137 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 90 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 534 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a 35-foot-long rear yard and 45 open parking spaces.
Nikolai Katz Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed last month. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

A 70-story 70-foot tall building? Must be rentals! Can’t wait to see who moves in. Excellent reporting, as always.
70 stories or 70 feet?
Lighten up peanut gallery… it’s a typo.
They never fix them anymore though.
Wow… Supertall in the Bronx!
If we’re being honest the Bronx should be seeing 50+ floor proposals, especially in Mott Haven. I suspect in a decade we just may.
Planners and speculators in the early 20th century expected Manhattans commercial zone to extend all the way to the S.Bronx, which is why the old N.Y.W.& B. terminated there. This fact also unfortunately led to its bankruptcy.
70 stories and 70 feet. That means like one foot per floor! It must be for the ants. 🙂
Hurray!
More Buildings!
More People!
More Density!
More Traffic on our streets, subways and busses, etc.,
While our fragile infrastructure
continues to crumble.
