Permits have been filed for an 11-story mixed-use building at 581 East 161st Street in Morrisania, The Bronx. Located between Eagle Avenue and St. Ann’s Avenue, the lot is near the Prospect Avenue subway station, served by the 2 and 5 trains. Edward Poppiti of H.O.G.A.R., Inc., a non-profit known as Housing Options and Geriatric Association Resources, is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 111-foot-tall development will yield 49,893 square feet, with 29,276 square feet designated for community facility space and 20,616 square feet for residential space. The building will have 83 residences, with an average unit scope of 248 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have two cellar levels and a 31-foot-long rear yard.
Anthony Shitemi of Urban Architectural Initiatives 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.

What is that old stone foundation from?
It may just be a retaining wall so that the side yard of the white building doesn’t collapse and possibly take the building with it.
