1:00 pm on March 11, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Brooklyn-based property owner Khalid Pervez Heera has field applications for three three-story, multi-family residential buildings at 903-909 Cortelyou Road, in Kensington, located seven blocks west of the Cortelyou Road stop on the Q train. Plans call for a 4,576-square-foot, three-family building at 903 Cortelyou, a 3,744-square-foot, two-unit building at 905 Cortelyou, and, finally, a 4,472-square-foot, three-family building at 909 Cortelyou. Although the residential square-footage varies from building to building, the full-floor apartments should average 1,200 square feet across the entire development, indicative of condominiums. Pirooz Soltanizadeh’s Jamaica-based Royal Engineering is the applicant of record. Demolition permits were filed last July to remove the site’s existing two-story house.

Back in January, YIMBY brought you a construction update on the 21-story, 73-unit residential building under construction at 319 Schermerhorn Street, in Downtown Brooklyn.

There will be duplexes and full-floor residences, all being designed by Andres Escobar & Associates. Amenities will include a gym, lounge, children’s lounge, private storage space, space for 37 bicycles, and a rooftop terrace. There will also be two ground-floor retail units measuring 3,000 and 2,100 square feet each. Issac & Stern Architects is design architect and the project’s developers are Adam America Real Estate and the Naveh Schuster Group. Completion is currently expected in early 2017.

6:00 am on March 11, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Since the 2005 rezoning of Greenpoint and Williamsburg, the city has slowly been building out Bushwick Inlet Park, which was planned to span the waterfront from North 7th to 15th streets when combined with the East River State Park. A large swath of the waterfront is still occupied by CitiStorage warehouses between North 10th and 12th streets, and that site is expected to be sold to a team of developers, but the city is moving in to acquire the swath of land at 1 North 12th Street, between North 12th and 14th streets. The city is paying $53 million for the seven-acre plot of land, currently occupied by a three-story warehouses and the Bayside Fuel Oil Depot’s storage tanks, according to The Real Deal. If the initial plans are executed, the city will demolish everything and convert the entire lot into public park space. The new park space would be located right across Bushwick Inlet from the planned USS Monitor Park.

4:00 pm on March 10, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Staten Island Community Board 1 has voted to disapprove Camelot’s plans for a four-story, 35-bed drug rehabilitation facility at 263 Port Richmond Avenue, on the western end of Port Richmond, on Staten Island’s north shore, DNAinfo reports. The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) granted the project $1 million in January. The project’s local opposition comes as Staten Island suffers from some the highest rate of drug overdoses in the city. It would replace Camelot’s existing two-story facility, although demolition permits have not been filed yet. Construction is expected to begin in 2017, with opening targeted for 2019.

Two Four-Story, Four-Unit Affordable Residential Buildings Planned At 329 Ralph Avenue, Ocean Hill

3:00 pm on March 10, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Habitat for Humanity’s New York City branch is planning to build two four-story, four-unit residential buildings at 329-331 Ralph Avenue, in Ocean Hill, located two blocks south of the Ralph Avenue stop on the C train. According to DNAinfo, all the full-floor residential units will be co-ops, with two of them having one-bedroom layouts and the other six having two-bedrooms. The buildings were filed with the Department of Buildings last October, and will measure 4,380 and 4,500 square feet each, respectively. That means units will average 1,110 square feet across both structures. All of the units will be sold at below-market rates to households making between 50 to 80 percent of the area median income (AMI). David Cunningham Architecture Planning is the architect of record. Groundbreaking is scheduled for this summer and completion is expected in early 2017.

Four-Story, Multi-Use Commercial Building Planned At 219 Park Avenue, Brooklyn Navy Yard

11:00 am on March 10, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in 2012, former property owner Harvey Stashower filed plans for a small, two-story commercial building with a caretakers apartment at 219 Park Avenue, located directly below the BQE on the southern edge of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Those plans never came to fruition, but now an anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC filed applications for a four-story, 9,525-square-foot multi-use commercial project. The latest plans call for 5,000 square feet of warehouse and office space in addition to 4,525 square feet of medical offices.

New Two-Story Commercial Building Filed At 131-01 39th Avenue, Within Flushing West Rezoning Area

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

In 2014, King’s USA Group acquired the two-story, 100,000-square-foot commercial building – dubbed Assi Plaza and located at 131-01 39th Avenue, in Downtown Flushing – for $54.6 million. Now, the developer is filing applications for a new two-story, 165,337-square-foot building with 58,349 square feet of commercial space, a storage component, and staging areas for transporting goods. Perkins Eastman would design the 51-foot-tall structure, but the new filings come just before the area could get rezoned. Last fall, YIMBY brought you the latest details on the Flushing West Rezoning and the site in question, located between College Point Boulevard and Flushing Creek, is at the center of the proposal’s special waterfront district. In other words, the site could eventually accommodate mixed-use buildings of up to 10 or 14 stories. Plans for the site are probably not set in stone, and the rezoning’s public review process is expected to kick off this spring. Permits to demolish the existing commercial building were filed in February.
