The New York Botanical Garden has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a mixed-use development assemblage at 2856-2870 Webster Avenue and 412 Bedford Park Boulevard, in Bedford Park. According to Curbed NY, the site could accommodate roughly 300 residential units, in addition to a 125-plus-key hotel and at least 12,000 square feet of retail. The site is located right above the Metro-North Railroad’s Botanical Garden station and currently consists of multiple low-rise commercial buildings. Proposal submissions are due on March 1, and the Garden is hoping to choose a developer before April.

Two Three-Story, Four-Unit Residential Buildings Filed At 513 Van Nest Avenue, Van Nest

Property owner Kole Popaj has filed applications for two three-story, four-unit residential buildings at 513-515 Van Nest Avenue, in the Van Nest section of the Bronx, located three blocks from the East 180th Street stop on the 2 and 5 trains. The buildings will measure 4,270 and 4,005 square feet, respectively, and the residential space in both structures will total 6,207 square feet. That means units across the development will average 776 square feet, which is indicative of rentals. Pelham, N.Y.-based Fred Geremia Architects & Planners is the applicant of record. The existing two-story house was filed for demolition last summer.

Three Multi-Story, Three-Family Residential Buildings Filed At 518 West 232nd Street, Riverdale

Flushing-based D&K Realty Development has filed applications for three three-story, three-family residential buildings at 518-522 West 232nd Street, on the southern end of Riverdale in the North Bronx. The square-footage of each building differs slightly, although the entire development will have 8,670 square feet of residential space. Across the buildings, units will average 963 square feet apiece, so either small condos or spacious rental apartments could be in the works. Flushing-based Michael Kang is the architect of record. The site is currently vacant, as its three-story predecessor was demolished back in 2007.

Located minutes from Fordham University’s Rose Hill campus, the 10-unit one will have 7,965 square feet in residential space, which means units will average 796 square feet apiece. Meanwhile, the other one will have 4,791 square feet of residential space, with units measuring an average 599 square feet each. Pirooz Soltanizadeh’s Jamaica-based Royal Engineering is the applicant of record. Last October, two existing 2.5-story houses were filed for demolition.
