A 14-story residential tower is officially in the pipeline for 122 Bruckner Boulevard in Mott Haven, bringing yet another high-rise to a Bruckner corridor that has been steadily trading low-slung warehouses for elevator buildings. The proposal calls for a 145-foot concrete building with a cellar and a 37-foot rear yard, and demolition paperwork is already in for the one-story structure currently on the site.
According to PincusCo, the Department of Buildings filing, submitted April 27, 2026 under job number X01338717, outlines a 99-unit residential (R-2) building spanning 79,246 square feet and topping out at about 145 feet. The plans list Shmuel Wieder of S. Wieder Architect P.C. as the architect of record and describe a concrete-based structure with a cellar.
New York YIMBY notes this is one of several recent filings on the same zoning lot, with Anshel Fridman of Arist Construction LLC listed as the owner behind the applications. YIMBY reports that the larger plan for the site could yield roughly 297 residences across multiple buildings, on a parcel that sits between St. Ann's Avenue and Brook Avenue, a short walk from the Brook Avenue 6 train stop.
Brownfield cleanup and affordability
The site is also tied to a Brownfield Cleanup Program application with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which includes a remedial investigation work plan for the project. NYSDEC documents indicate the broader redevelopment could total roughly 300 units across several buildings and propose that about 30 percent of them be reserved as affordable housing.
One site, multiple filings
PincusCo's development feed shows Fridman has submitted two additional 99-unit applications tied to the same zoning lot in recent weeks, suggesting a coordinated multi-building complex rather than a one-off tower. PincusCo notes that the trio of filings totals about 297 units for the parcel, though that number could shift as designs are tweaked and the Department of Buildings works through its review.
Timeline and next steps
Demolition permits for the existing single-story building were submitted this month, but the developer has not floated a target completion date. New York YIMBY points out that the project still needs full DOB approvals and must clear any remediation requirements under the DEC brownfield plan before construction cranes can start rising over Bruckner Boulevard.
If the scheme moves forward as described, it would plug another nearly 100 apartments into a corridor that has quietly become one of the South Bronx's busiest development zones, with mid- and high-rise projects transforming the once-industrial strip into a dense residential pocket. We will be keeping an eye on DOB, DEC and community board filings for firmer timelines and any concrete commitments on affordability tied to the cleanup program.
