Permits have been filed for a nine-story mixed-use building at 1727 Amsterdam Avenue in Hamilton Heights, Manhattan. Located between West 145th and West 146th Streets, the lot is one block from the 145th Street subway station, serviced by the 1 train. Non-profit Bowery Residents’ Committee is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 94-foot-tall development will yield 141,910 square feet, with 71,073 square feet designated for residential space and 70,837 square feet for community facility space. The building will have 200 residences. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar, a 30-foot-long rear yard, and two enclosed parking spaces.
Martin H. Kapell is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not been filed yet. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

So is the whole Bowen Center being demolished?
Each passing year, one and two floor buildings are becoming more endangered; it is only matter of time before Manhattan’s infrastructure collapses with so many structures go up and up.
We are desperately in need of new housing in NYC – the only way to solve the housing crisis is to build more. This area can easily handle the density. It is located between 2 major subway lines and on a corner served by many buses. I hope there is no parking as part of this project. Parking is a relic that needs to be replaced by housing, bike parking, public transit accommodations. The Health Center will be retained in the new space. I live 2 blocks away and see homeless people in the area every day. More housing will help all.
This architect is the principal at think! And think! does good work so I think this is going to be a good looking project.
