Exterior work is progressing on 305 Calyer Street, a six-story commercial building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Developed by Samuel Yakobowicz of Greenpoint Industrial Services Corp., the 72-foot-tall structure will yield five floors of office space and an automotive repair shop and car wash on the first story. The 52,000-square-foot property is located at the intersection of Calyer and Jewel Streets.
Exterior work is continuing on 520 Fifth Avenue, an 88-story mixed-use supertall skyscraper in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and developed by Rabina, the 1,002-foot-tall structure will span 415,000 square feet and yield 100 condominium units. The project will also include 25 floors of boutique office space, ground-floor retail, and an extensive collection of amenities. The property is located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and West 43rd Street, one block north of Bryant Park.
Mayor Eric Adams, the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) President and CEO Andrew Kimball, and leaders from the Union Square Partnership and the Meatpacking District Management Association recently announced $3 million in public-private funding to upgrade the 14th Street corridor in Manhattan. An extra $2 million will come from the City, while another $1 million will come from Local Business Improvement Districts.
Construction is complete at Ruby Square, a 12-story mixed-income residential development at 166-20 90th Avenue in Jamaica, Queens. Designed by Perkins Eastman and developed by BRP Companies, the structure spans 715,000 square feet and will yields a total of 614 rental units in studios to two-bedroom layouts, with 185 designated for affordable housing, more than 50,000 square feet of amenities, 25,000 square feet of retail space, and 5,000 square feet of community space. Work first began in 2022, and the property was formerly known as 90Ninety and is located at the corner of 90th Avenue and 168th Street.
Construction has topped out on 232 East 84th Street, a five-story residential building in the Yorkville section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The construction board and building permits posted on site indicate there will be a total of four apartments and a cellar level. 68-1509 Estate LLC is listed as the owner of the property, which is located on a very narrow rectangular parcel between Second and Third Avenues. It’s unclear who is the architect, or what the final design will look like.
