Demolition permits were filed in July for the church currently on the 7,667-square-foot lot at 607 West 161st Street. Ariel Property Advisors had the listing for the site, which sold in February for $3 million.

Jeffrey Cole Architects was tapped to design the new building. The ground-floor duplexes will come with private yards, in addition to a gym, bike storage and more outdoor space. [BuzzBuzzHome]Mark Maurer
