Permits have been filed for a two-story hotel at 701 East 240th Street in Wakefield, The Bronx, a popular area for the typology in the borough. The site is a block away from the 241st Street Subway Station, the final stop for the 2 train. Chand White Plains LLC will be responsible for the development.
Last year, YIMBY’s pipeline report showed a dramatic decrease in new building filings, with 2015’s multi-family count of 32,702 units falling precipitously, to 19,356 in 2016. Fortunately, the hemorrhaging of pipeline additions has nearly come to a complete stop, and 2017 saw filings for 19,180 multi-family units, a drop of under one percent. The full report, covering all 2,030 new building applications filed last year, is downloadable in Excel format at the following link.
