A 12-story mixed-use tower is on the drawing board for 3008 Godwin Terrace in Kingsbridge, the Bronx, with permits filed for roughly 164 total housing units across the lot and new commercial space a short stroll from the 231st Street subway stop. The application names Westorchard Management, led by Steven Westreich, as the owner and Kao Hwa Lee Architects as architect of record. The concrete-based plan calls for rooftop terraces and a mix of open and enclosed parking, but no demolition permits or target completion date have surfaced yet.
Permits and project basics
According to New York YIMBY, the filing outlines a 124-foot-tall, 12-story concrete structure that would span about 116,798 square feet. Plans carve out approximately 94,169 square feet for residential use and 22,454 square feet for commercial use, with 99 residences in the primary building and 164 units across the full lot. The proposal also includes 13 open parking spaces, 28 enclosed parking spaces, and rooftop terraces on the fifth and eighth floors.
Location and transit
The project site sits between West 230th Street and Kimberly Place, a short walk from the elevated 231st Street station served by the 1 train, as noted on Wikipedia. With Broadway’s commercial strip and multiple bus routes close by, the building would land on a busy corridor where new housing and storefronts could shift local foot traffic and tighten the parking hunt. Regular 1 train riders and nearby residents are likely to keep an eye on how the proposal moves through city review.
Design, team and filings
The permit application lists Kao Hwa Lee Architects as architect of record and identifies Steven Westreich of Westorchard Management as the owner pushing the plan, New York YIMBY reports. The documents describe a concrete-based mixed-use building that folds in a modest community facility component along with retail at street level. Demolition permits have not yet been filed, and the developer has not publicly shared an estimated completion timeline.
Where this fits in Kingsbridge
The Godwin Terrace filing arrives as Kingsbridge sees a steady drip of mid-rise proposals, a trend local outlets have been charting in recent months. Both the Bronx Times and Norwood News have highlighted nearby applications that together point to more residential and commercial density headed for the neighborhood. As with most new mid-rises, questions around unit mix, parking pressure, and whether local infrastructure can keep pace are likely to surface as filings turn into permits and, eventually, construction crews.
What comes next
Before any work can start, the developer must secure full plan approvals and, if demolition is required, file separate demolition applications plus site-safety and asbestos paperwork through DOB NOW, in line with guidance from the Department of Buildings. The agency’s materials spell out demolition and asbestos rules that can apply to full-building projects. Community Board review and additional city sign-offs may follow as the proposal moves through the approvals pipeline.
