The affordable housing lottery has launched for 2381-2383 Lorillard Place, a pair of four-story residential buildings in Tremont, The Bronx. Designed by Gerald J. Caliendo and developed by Aviram Chen, the structures yield seven residences each. Available on NYC Housing Connect are six units total for residents at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $60,858 to $139,620.
Most new construction in Melrose is affordable housing, but we recently spotted a small market-rate project in the works at 764 East 152nd Street, in the heart of the South Bronx.
Aviram Chen, doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for a four-story, six-unit residential building at 19 Malta Street, in East New York’s western neighborhood of New Lots. Located five blocks from the L train’s stop at New Lots Avenue, the structure will measure 4,222 square feet, which means units will average a rental-sized 704 square feet apiece. An existing garage structure will have to be demolished, but the lot is otherwise empty. Queens-based Gerald Caliendo is the architect of record.
