Nine-Story, 142,500-Square-Foot Commercial Building Rises Above Street Level at 540 West 26th Street, West Chelsea

6:30 am on September 20, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Construction is up to the third floor on the nine-story, 142,554-square-foot mixed-use commercial building at 540 West 26th Street, in West Chelsea. The latest photos can be seen on the YIMBY Forums. The most recent building permits indicate the project will eventually measure 142,554 square feet and rise 135 feet above street level. The developers have already pre-leased 85,421 square feet across portions of the ground through fifth floors to Avenues: The World School, a private school. The sixth through ninth floors will contain office space and the ground floor will feature an art gallery space. The real estate fund Savanna and the Silvermintz family are developing the building, while Morris Adjmi Architects is designing it. Completion is expected in 2017.

Four Four-Story, Six-Unit Residential Buildings Filed at 21-20 45th Road, Long Island City

6:00 am on September 20, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Brooklyn-based Leny Vays has filed applications for four four-story, six-unit residential buildings at 21-20 – 21-28 45th Road and 21-19 46th Avenue, in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City. Each of them will measure 4,883 square feet, which means the residential units should average 813 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. The 15,000-square-foot assemblage, currently occupied by multiple single-story warehouses, spans 125 feet along 45th Road. Since each building will measure 25 feet across and there isn’t anything filed at 21-22 45th Road and 21-26 45th Road, two more are probably on the way, and the unit count could rise to 36. Igor Zaslavskiy’s Brooklyn-based Zproekt is the architect of record and demolition permits were filed in June.

In September of 2015, Stellar Management acquired, for $12 million, the two-story, 7,500-square-foot commercial building at 130 Second Avenue. That’s located on the corner of St. Marks Place in the East Village. It has now been revealed that Stellar will renovate the existing building, formerly occupied by a Chase bank branch. It will become the headquarters of the currently TriBeCa-based non-profit art organization Swiss Institute, Curbed NY reported. Besides upgraded office space, new elements will include event spaces, a library, a bookstore, and a rooftop terrace. Selldorf Architects is designing the renovation and completion is expected in 2017.

1:00 pm on September 19, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Construction is now two stories above street level on the seven-story, 106-unit mixed-use building under development at 500 East 14th Street, on the corner of Avenue A in the East Village. The progress can be seen in a Curbed NY report. The entire project, which will include another seven-story, 54-unit component at 524 East 14th Street, will encompass 253,432 square feet, per the latest building permits. There will be 56,610 square feet of retail space on the ground and cellar levels between the two buildings. Over the summer, Target leased 42,367 square feet of space in the larger one. The residential units will be condominiums and should average 1,215 square feet apiece. Extell Development Company is the developer and Beyer Blinder Belle is behind the architecture. Completion is expected in 2017.

Six-Story, 10-Unit Mixed-Use Project Planned at 1104 Bedford Avenue, Bedford-Stuyvesant

11:00 am on September 19, 2016 By Reid Wilson

An anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC has filed applications for a six-story, 10-unit mixed-use building at 1104 Bedford Avenue, in western Bedford-Stuyvesant. The project will measure 11,627 square feet. It will host 519 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, followed by residential units averaging 1,111 square feet apiece. Since the apartments will be relatively large for new residential construction in that part of Brooklyn, condominiums are probably in the works. Amenities include laundry facilities, a recreation room, and storage space. Genaro R. Urueta’s Maspeth-based Studio Gallos is the architect of record. The 59-foot-wide, 5,577-square-foot property is currently occupied by a dilapidating single-story structure. Demolition permits were filed in August. The Bedford-Nostrand Avenues stop on the G train is four blocks away.

10:00 am on September 19, 2016 By Reid Wilson

At the beginning of the year, an anonymous Brooklyn-based property owner filed applications for two three-story, six-unit residential buildings at 6-8 East 4th Street, in Windsor Terrace. Those plans have since been approved. Now, permits have been filed for two additional three-story, three-unit residential buildings to book-end the project, at 4 East 4th Street and 10 East 4th Street. The three-unit buildings will measure just under 4,400 square feet each, while the six-unit buildings will measure between 8,600 square feet and 8,800 square feet. Across all four, the units should average 1,105 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. There will be a total of 12 off-street parking spaces. Douglas Pulaski’s Brooklyn-based Bricolage Designs is the architect of record. The 8,560-square-foot lot is currently vacant and located three blocks from the Fort Hamilton Parkway stop on the F and G trains.

The ground floor will contain 23,167 square feet of retail space. The residential units, condominiums, will begin on the fifth floor. The apartments will come in one- to three-bedroom configurations and should average 1,364 square feet apiece. A separate 13-story, 205-unit component will contain exclusively affordable rental units. Extell Development Company is the developer and Adamson Associates Architects is behind the design. Completion is expected in 2019.

6:30 am on September 19, 2016 By Reid Wilson
