SJP Properties and P2B Ventures are the developers and PBDW Architects is designing. Completion is expected in early 2018.

10:00 am on March 7, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Premier Equities is placing on the market an assemblage of five tenement buildings along Third Avenue, between East 74th Street and 75th streets, on the Upper East Side.

There’s roughly 115,000 square feet of development potential at the site, although a developer would most likely demolish two of the tenement buildings for a 95,000 square-foot residential tower, according to Meridian Investment Sales, the brokerage firm tasked to sell the properties.

6:30 am on March 7, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Owner Denied Permission To Combine Three Upper East Side Properties Into Mansion At 11-15 East 75th Street

6:00 am on March 7, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In July of 2015, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich closed on the purchase of the five-story townhouse at 13 East 75th Street, on the Upper East Side, for $30 million, completing an assemblage which includes the multi-family building at 11 East 75th Street and the townhouse at 15 East 75th Street. So far, Abramovich has spent a total $78 million acquiring the three properties, and within the last few months, filed applications to combine them into an 18,225-square-foot mansion. The New York Post now reports the applications were, unsurprisingly, disapproved. Combining the buildings would be complex since the structures have uneven floor plates and the Landmarks Preservation Commission would have to approve the project, as it’s located within the Upper East Side Historic District. Stephen Wang + Associates was serving as the architect of record.
