1855 Grand Concourse

A six-story, 1936 Art Deco cooperative on the Grand Concourse, this intimate elevator building contains about two dozen units arranged primarily as one-bedroom layouts and several larger junior-four and two-bedroom conversions. The exterior shows period detailing and a cream-colored brick façade with decorative zigzag motifs; a modest, terrazzo lobby and wrought-iron stair and balcony elements reinforce the pre-war character. Interiors commonly display high ceilings, original herringbone parquet floors, plaster moldings, sunken living rooms, picture moldings and other intact architectural details. Units range from renovated, windowed eat-in kitchens with modern appliances to loft-style lower-level apartments with exposed steam piping and high beamed ceilings. Building services include a resident superintendent, on-site laundry, storage and elevator access; heat and hot water are typically covered by maintenance. Co-op governance enforces typical restrictions: investor limits, pet rules (often no dogs), financing caps around 80–90% depending on the offering, and board approval for many resales, with some sponsor units offered without board review. Located in the Mount Hope section of the Bronx, the property sits steps from B/D/4 subway lines and offers direct, quick transit to Midtown Manhattan, alongside neighborhood shopping and tree-lined boulevard views.
