Back March of 2014, plans for a two-story, 4,570-square-foot commercial building were revealed at 47 Prince Street, on the corner of Mulberry Street in NoLIta.

11:00 am on March 16, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in November of 2015, new details and renderings surfaced of the planned 12-story, 49-unit residential building at 160 Leroy Street, in the West Village, and YIMBY can now report that excavation is underway, as seen in a photo by Tectonic. Developers Ian Schrager, Vector Group, and Carlton Group secured $265 million in financing last month for the 184,935-square-foot project. The condominium units will average a very spacious 2,874 square feet apiece, with units ranging from 1,100 square feet to a 12,000-square-foot penthouse, and amenities include landscaped courtyards and gardens, a 70-foot swimming pool and spa, an entertainment lounge, a kids clubhouse, a gym, and an 834-square-foot restaurant.

Six Three-Story, Mixed-Use Buildings Coming To 106-02 Astoria Boulevard, East Elmhurst

10:00 am on March 16, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Property owner Stelios Banagos, head of Bay Restoration Corp. but doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for six small mixed-use buildings at 106-02 – 106-14 Astoria Boulevard, located between 106th and 107th Streets, in East Elmhurst. The buildings will stand three stories in height and will contain two residential units each, although size of the buildings will vary between 4,500 and 6,700 square feet apiece. The residential and commercial square-footage figures for each building are not entirely clear, although it appears across the entire development 6,227 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 12,379 square feet of residential space is planned. That means full-floor residential units will average 1,032 square feet apiece. Midtown-based Node Engineering & Consulting is the applicant of record. Three existing wood-framed houses must first be demolished. Demolition permits are currently on file.

Back in December of 2014, YIMBY reported on the Landmarks Preservation Commission approval of the four-story, eight-unit mixed-use building at 112 Atlantic Avenue, in northern Cobble Hill (within the Cobble Hill Historic District), after initial plans for the site were rejected the month before. Curbed NY now has a new rendering of the project, which is reportedly now under construction and using the address 325 Henry Street. The latest filings describe a 25,244-square-foot structure with 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The condominium units will begin on the second floor and should average a very spacious 2,169 square feet apiece. There will also be six bike storage spaces and an eight-car automated parking garage in the cellar. BKSK Architects is designing, and Avery Hall Investments and OTL Enterprises are the developers. Completion is probably expected later this year or in 2017.

13-Story, 42-Unit Condominium Conversion Refinanced At 275 West 10th Street, West Village

3:00 pm on March 15, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in June of 2014, Starwood Capital Group and Naftali Group filed applications to convert the 13-story, 145-unit rental building at 275 West 10th Street, in the West Village, into 38 condominium units. Now, the developers have secured a $65.9 million loan for the project, dubbed the Shephard, according to The Real Deal. The property sits within the Greenwich Village Historic District Extension, so any exterior alterations to the structure would have to be approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. As filed, the building will see its residential space reduced from 139,547 to 136,948 square feet. The condominium units will average a very spacious 3,604 square feet apiece, some of which include penthouse and duplex units. Amenities include a library, a spa, a recreation room, and a fitness center. Beyer Blinder Belle is the design architect and Gachot Studios is the interior designer.
