Permits have been filed for a 12-story residential building at 1917 Morris Avenue in Mount Hope, The Bronx. Located between East Tremont Avenue and East 177th Street, the lot is near the Tremont Avenue subway station, served by the B and D trains. Andrea Gjini of 781-783 Elsmere Place is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 124-foot-tall development will yield 107,851 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 99 residences with a total 154 residences on the lot, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 700 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and a 20-foot-long rear yard.
John Backos of Grid Drafting and Consulting LLC 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.

Good infill. Great size for this transit rich location.
100% correct – the original sin of the Bronx was that way too juch of its development was only 6 stories – more height and density are needed!
The perfect type of development. Let’s hope the design is better than average for the Bronx. They deserve it.
The West Bronx is very dense for a non-Manhattan neighborhood. I grew up there. Almost no parks.
