YIMBY visited the sites of four new developments joining the wave of residential and commercial construction in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The projects are located in the downtown area and by Buccleuch Park along the Raritan River, and will introduce nearly 300 housing units and new administrative space for Middlesex County.
Construction is quickly progressing on 8 Carlisle, a 64-story residential skyscraper at 8 Carlisle Street in Manhattan’s Financial District. Designed by Handel Architects and developed by Grubb Properties and Pink Stone Capital, the 789-foot-tall structure will span 326,221 square feet and yield 462 residential units. The project will also include 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and a 60-foot-long rear yard. The property is alternately addressed as 111 Washington Street and located at the corner of Washington and Carlisle Streets, just south of the World Trade Center complex.
YIMBY recently checked in on the progress of four new residential projects in Corona and East Elmhurst, Queens. The developments are located near Northern Boulevard and will add 188 units to the neighborhoods. All four properties are within proximity of the 7 train at the elevated 111th Street station along Roosevelt Avenue.
New renderings have been released for three forthcoming developments in Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The structures are planned to add nearly 125 housing units and 200,000 square feet of mixed-use commercial and industrial space to the evolving neighborhoods.
Renovation and recladding is quickly progressing at 383 Madison Avenue, a 47-story office skyscraper in Midtown East, Manhattan. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill along with Foster + Partners and Gensler, the original curtain wall for the 755-foot-tall structure’s façade is being replaced, while the 1.2 million square feet of office space is being revamped to serve the banking investment division of JPMorgan Chase. Formerly known as the Bear Stearns Building, the tower was originally designed by David Childs of SOM and completed in 2001. The property is bounded by Madison and Vanderbilt Avenues and East 46th and East 47th Streets, and stands directly south of the financial institution’s recently completed headquarters at 270 Park Avenue.
