As soon as I saw the photo, I thought “New Jersey.” The areas I travel through by train are full of these developments—5 story wooden structures on a masonry base and often a stucco facade. They come with various exteriors, even Victorian. New York laws do not allow this type of construction.
Why does New York not allow them?
Fireproof construction has been required for multiple dwellings in New York for some decades. Only the ground level, stairwells, and elevator shafts are masonry in New Jersey. There was a large one across the Hudson from Grant’s Tomb that burned down during construction, and then again after it was occupied.
My old office building used to be in that location-What a beautiful design these apartments are-Nice job
The ’90s are back.
No need to guess what will happen next on the project, with its website showing shape to gainful for climactic moment: Thanks.
