A two-story building on Washington Avenue in Tremont is set to make way for a six-story residential project with 40 apartments and commercial space. Permits have been filed for the proposed development at 1846 Washington Avenue, with demolition permits for the existing structure already submitted last month.
According to New York YIMBY, the lot sits between East 175th Street and East 176th Street, placing it near the Tremont Avenue subway station served by the B and D trains. Ylli Sufaj is listed as the owner behind the applications, and the filings point to a building that would reshape a stretch of the corridor currently occupied by a much smaller structure.
What the Proposed Building Would Include
The planned development would rise 61 feet and yield 24,817 square feet overall, with 24,108 square feet set aside for residential use and 709 square feet designated for commercial space, the outlet's report states. The 40 residences would average 602 square feet apiece, a scope the report says makes them most likely rentals, though tenure has not been confirmed.
Per the same account, the building would be built with a concrete-based structure and would include a cellar, a penthouse, and a 20-foot-long rear yard. Gerald J. Caliendo Architects is listed as the architect of record for the project. No estimated completion date has been announced.
Another Tremont Project in the Pipeline
This isn't the only recent proposal in the neighborhood. In January, permits were filed for a six-story residential building at 453 East 175th Street in Tremont, also reported by New York YIMBY. That proposal called for a 57-foot-tall structure with 20,204 square feet of residential space and 30 residences, also described as most likely rentals, based on an average unit size of 673 square feet.
The Washington Avenue filing arrives amid a broader wave of development activity across the city. A New York YIMBY report on 2025 proposals found more than 57,000 residential and hotel units had been proposed that year, underscoring how frequently permit filings like this one are surfacing across New York's boroughs. For now, the 1846 Washington Avenue project remains in the permitting stage.
