1:00 pm on July 12, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Abraham Friedrich, doing business as an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC, has filed applications for a five-story, five-unit residential building at 275 Skillman Street, in western Bedford-Stuyvesant. The structure will measure 8,973 square feet and its residential units should average 1,287 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. The layout of the building isn’t quite clear from the filings. Though the new building application lists five stories, the schedule A lists a basement, first floor, mezzanine, second floor, and third floor, in addition to a cellar and the roof. Udoette D. Isaiah’s Elmont, N.Y.-based architectural firm is the architect of record. The 32-foot-wide, 3,238-square-foot plot is half occupied by a three-story townhouse. Demolition permits were filed in April. The site is located a block from the Bedford-Nostrand Avenues stop on the G train.

The 23-story, 303-unit mixed-use building under development at 38 Sixth Avenue, at the corner of Dean Street in Prospect Heights, has topped out. Three months ago, the structure was merely two stories above street level. It now encompasses 341,595 square feet. It will host 8,700 square feet of retail space and medical offices on the ground floor, followed by 303 affordable residential units. All of the rental apartments will rent at below-market rates through the housing lottery. Amenities include a 73-car underground garage, space for a whopping 400 bikes, private residential storage space, a fitness center with a yoga room, a children’s playroom, and a terrace on the 16th floor. Greenland Forest City Partners, comprising of Greenland USA (the US branch of Shanghai-based Greenland Group) and Forest City Ratner Companies, is the developer. The duo are heading the 17-building Pacific Park mixed-use mega-development, of which 38 Sixth Avenue is a part. SHoP Architects is behind the design. Completion can probably be expected later this year or in early 2017.

82-22 South Conduit Avenue

Four-Story, Six-Unit Residential Building Planned at 82-22 South Conduit Avenue, Lindenwood

Property owner Zios Sachtouris has filed applications for a four-story, six-unit residential building at 82-22 South Conduit Avenue, in Lindenwood. The structure will measure 11,905 square feet and its residential units should average 1,273 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. The residences will take on a townhouse-style configuration, with each unit spanning across all four levels. Each unit will come with a single, enclosed parking space on the ground floor. Anthony C. Villano’s Brooklyn-based ACV Architecture is the architect of record. The 10,188-square-foot site, which is currently vacant, fronts a street that doesn’t exist yet. According to the tax lot map, there’s going to be a new street that diagonally connects Linden Boulevard and 149th Avenue. The dead ends of 80th, 81st, 82nd, and 84th streets will connect to the new street. For reference, the new building will be located between 82nd and 84th streets.

A rendering has been revealed of Tishman Speyer’s planned two-tower, 1.1-million-square-foot office complex at 28-07 Jackson Avenue (a.k.a. 28-10 Queens Plaza South), in the Queens Plaza section of Long Island City. The towers – dubbed One and Three Gotham Center – will stand 27 stories, or 396 feet, in height. As YIMBY reported in June, new building applications indicate a common four-story base will include roughly 30,000 square feet of retail space, restaurants, a food hall, and a parking garage for cars and bikes. The rendering also depicts an outdoor terrace on the fifth floor. 800,000 square feet of office space in the complex has already been pre-leased. One tenant includes WeWork, which is set to take 250,000 square feet. Another is Bloomingdale’s, which has reserved 550,000 square feet of office space, Crain’s reported. Doha-based Qatari Diar is co-developing the project, while Financial District-based MdeAS Architects is designing. Excavation is expected to begin in early 2017, with completion scheduled for 2019. One and Three Gotham Center will join the 22-story, 700,000-square-foot Two Gotham Center located immediately to the north. Tishman Speyer developed that in 2011.

Amenities include a 128-car garage, storage for 96 bikes, laundry facilities, and multiple outdoor terraces. The SBH Health System (St. Barnabas Hospital, located across the street) will utilize the medical space, as well as operate a 10,800-square-foot terrace geared towards exercise for the building’s tenants.
