Permits have been filed to convert a seven-story industrial structure into a residential building at 191 Edgewater Street in Rosebank, Staten Island. Located between Hylan Boulevard and Front Street, the lot is near the Clifton subway station on the Staten Island Rail. Lee Fong of Best Choice Trading Corp. is listed as the owner behind the applications for what once was a Wrigley chewing gum factory.
The proposed 92-foot-tall waterfront development will yield 166,915 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 90 residences, most likely condos based on the average unit scope of 1,854 square feet. The steel-based structure will also have a cellar, a 66-foot-long rear yard, 36 open parking spaces, and 54 enclosed parking spaces.
Rampulla Associates Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the permit calls for a conversion. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

There’s tremendous potential here. I hope the project lives up to its promise.
This is really cool.
I hope it is condos. Ownership is better, a building of owners is better for the neighborhood and better for Staten Island. Staten Island is a borough of homeowners, 80% of Staten Island households are homeowners.
this is so good for north shore staten. its a nice area there around alice austen house, but it could use some building up. hopefully the bay street corridor project from stapleton along to the ferry comes along as planned too.
