"Department of Buildings job notices filed on February 11 list two new 13-story building applications at 680 and 690 East Fordham Road, under job numbers X01358456 and X01358459. The plans call for 98 residential units at 680 and 92 at 690, for a combined 190 units and roughly 116,821 square feet across the initial filings. The records name Nikolai Katz Architect as architect of record and list Hen Vaknin of Bridge Asset Management as the filing representative. Those particulars were summarized by PincusCo."
"East Fordham Road was rezoned in the 2010s to promote denser mixed-use development and stronger commercial continuity, a change that opened the door to taller buildings but also stirred ongoing arguments over parking, traffic and neighborhood character. CityLand traces the rezoning history, and a 2021 Community Board 6 vote opposing a supermarket proposal on the 660 to 680 block highlighted local sensitivity to parking and retail changes, according to the Bronx Times."
Two 13-story mixed-use building permit applications were filed for 680 and 690 East Fordham Road on February 11, listing job numbers X01358456 and X01358459. The initial filings propose 98 units at 680 and 92 at 690, totaling 190 units and roughly 116,821 square feet, with Nikolai Katz Architect and Hen Vaknin of Bridge Asset Management named in the records. The filings reference a larger master plan that could yield about 370 units on the overall zoning lot. The East Fordham Road rezoning enabled taller, denser development but has raised neighborhood concerns about parking, traffic and retail changes; the new entries list only seven on-site parking spaces at 680.
