Description:

Ariel Property Advisors presents 690 & 698 East 166th Street, a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a large, community facility and an adjacent rectory in the heart of the Bronx’s Morrisania neighborhood.

Located on the southeast corner of Trinity Avenue and East 166th Street, the existing religious facility’s history goes back to 1874 and is the oldest building in the Morris High School Historic District. According to the historic district designation report, the rectory is not included in the historic district.

Interested parties can approach the offering in two ways:
• Owner-User Opportunity: The 8,160 SF church features a large sanctuary and community room; the 3,000 SF rectory includes 6 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and generous common areas
• Development Potential: The 16,337 SF lot allows ~49,012 BSF (standard R6) or ~63,715 BSF (City of Yes UAP), with possible additional NYCHA air rights; development would require LPC coordination.
• Prime Location: Positioned across from landmarked Morris High School and near the 2/5 subway at Westchester Avenue.
• Expanded Development Potential - Surrounded by a NYCHA campus with air rights and adjacent open space that may allow for an expanded development opportunity.
