New permits have been filed for a nine-story mixed-use building at 2135 Colonial Avenue in Pelham Bay, The Bronx. Located between East 196th Street and Pelham Parkway South, the lot is closest to the Pelham Bay Park subway station, serviced by the 6 train. Moses Freund of The Vaja Group is listed as the owner behind the applications. Previous plans by The Vaja Group called for an eight-story mixed-use structure with 42 residences, community facility space, and 30 parking spaces.
The proposed 84-foot-tall development will yield 42,379 square feet, with 41,799 square feet designated for residential space and 580 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 63 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 663 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar but no accessory parking.
S. Wieder Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not been filed yet. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

This is already built.
I’m confused. This is already built and appears to be a luxury building. Seems it is being occupied now. Also 286 Rider Ave was not covered and is built now too
