696 E Fordham Road presents a rare opportunity to occupy a vacant, immediately available commercial property at the signalized intersection of East Fordham Road and Crotona Avenue in the Bronx. Formerly occupied by the New York State DMV, the property offers a substantial two-level layout with a large ground-floor presence, prominent corner exposure, and flexible delivery options, including as-is occupancy or a build-to-suit program by ownership. The property's C4-4D zoning supports a broad range of commercial uses, including retail, office, medical, educational, fitness, and showroom concepts. A large ground-floor plate, high ceilings, and dual street frontage create flexibility for a variety of occupiers seeking visibility and customer accessibility. Ownership has explored multiple test-fit scenarios demonstrating the property's adaptability across several use types. The location benefits from direct access to one of the Bronx's most active commercial corridors. The property is positioned near Metro-North's Fordham Station, the B, D, and 4 subway lines, and multiple bus routes serving the area. Nearby destinations include Fordham University, St. Barnabas Hospital, the Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Garden, Target, Burlington, TJ Maxx, Starbucks, and Chick-fil-A.
