Ira Gross seeks rezoning for 333-unit mixed-use building in Allerton

Ira Gross through the company Boston Road Associates submitted rezoning plans to facilitate the development of a 278,992-square-foot mixd-use development with 333 dwelling units at 2560 Boston Road in Allerton, the Bronx.

The applicant seeks a zoning map amendment to rezone the development site from the R6 and C8-1 zoning districts to a R7-2 zoning district with a C2-4 commercial overlay and a zoning text amendment to Appendix F to establish the site as a Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (“MIH”) Area.

The rezoning would lead to the construction of a 10-story, 278,992-square-foot building with approximately 251,942-square-feet of residential space and roughly 20,298-square-feet of commercial space, including a 15,000-square-foot supermarket to replace the existing supermarket that is presently located on Lot 16. Of the 333 dwelling units, 40 percent to 60 percent of the units would be affordable to households earning up to 60 percent of the area median income “AMI” with the remaining units affordable to households earning up to 130 percent AMI. The building will also have approximately 117 parking spaces.

The development site includes Block 4440, Lots 16, 30, and 32, which will developed as a single zoning lot. The applicant is the owner of the development site.
