YIMBY recently checked in on nine residential and commercial developments under construction in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The properties are all within walking distance of the L train at the Bedford Avenue station, and will add some 200 housing units to the evolving neighborhood.
The first renderings have been revealed for the recently announced renovation of the Chrysler Building, the 77-story Art Deco icon at 405 Lexington Avenue in Midtown East, Manhattan. Led by Tishman Speyer, which just finalized a $235 million deal to acquire the skyscraper in a joint venture with The Cooper Union, the project will modernize at least 75 percent of the 1.3-million-square-foot structure’s work space and will restore its façade, including the world-famous crown and spire.
New renderings have been revealed for 32-02 Linden Place, a proposed ten-story mixed-use residential building in Flushing, Queens. Developed under the Vernon 298 LLC, the structure is slated to span 285,543 square feet and yield 296 apartments, with 75 dedicated to affordable housing. The project will also include ground-floor retail, a parking garage, and bike storage. The L-shaped property is bounded by Linden Place, Farrington Street, and 32nd Avenue.
Construction has begun at 1300 Jefferson Street, the site of an 18-story residential building on the northern edge of Hoboken, New Jersey. Designed by Fogarty Finger and developed in a joint venture between Lincoln Property Company and Pegasus Partners LLC, the structure will yield 357 market-rate and affordable rental units. The project will also include a 304-vehicle parking garage and 24,000 square feet of retail space in its five-story podium. The full-block property is bounded by 14th Street to the north, 13th Street to the south, Jefferson Street to the east, and Madison Street to the west.
Renderings have been revealed for North White Plains, a complex of two abutting six-story residential buildings at 20 Haarlem Avenue and 27 Holland Avenue in White Plains, Westchester County. Designed by Perkins Eastman and developed by NW Plains Venture LLC, the $178 million project will yield 296 units along with ground-floor retail and a two-story, 393-vehicle parking garage. The 2.44-acre property is located directly next to the North White Plains Metro-North train station.
