11:00 am on February 23, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Prime Rok Real Estate and Greystone Property Development have purchased the eight-story, 33,000-square-foot building at 164 West 74th Street, on the Upper West Side, for $28 million. According to Commercial Observer, the new owners are planning to convert the building, which is currently Phoenix House’s drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility, into 14 to 18 condominium units. As currently proposed, the structure’s façade will be lightly restored, the rear will be partially demolished, and the interior will be gut-renovated. Barry Rice Architects is designing the conversion, but any alterations to the property will have to be approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, as it’s located within the Upper West Side-Central Park West Historic District.

Developer Acquires Large Manufacturing Site At 23-30 Borden Avenue, Long Island City

10:00 am on February 23, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Developer Atlas Capital Group LLC, which done work across the country, has acquired the 276,705-square-foot warehouse at 23-30 Borden Avenue, in southern Long Island City, for $48 million. Bloomberg Business reports the warehouse serves as the home of Fresh Direct LLC, an online grocer, although the company will soon move to a new location currently being constructed in the Bronx. The Long Island City site is located within a manufacturing zone (M3-2) and currently yields 129,847 square feet of additional development rights under current zoning. But that could change if the developer initiates a zoning change or if the city moves forward with a general rezoning of the area, which could possibly allow for residential units to be built in this industrial section. Who is behind Atlas Capital Group, LLC? That will remain a mystery until the sale is complete.

6:00 am on February 23, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in April of 2012, YIMBY reported on applications for a new 25-story hotel at 414 West 15th Street, in Chelsea, and since then the hotel plans underwent revision and were revealed in multiple posts. But the hotel never came to fruition and now the site’s developers – the Boston-based Rockpoint Group, Highgate Holdings, and its property owner, Meilman Family Real Estate – are planning an 18-story, 130,000-square-foot office building, Crain’s reports. The structure will stand 270 feet above street level, and according to the latest filings with the Department of Buildings, there will be 108,469 square feet of commercial space. It will include retail space on the ground and cellar levels, and the rest of the property will be leased as office space. Rockpoint’s adjacent expansion project at 430 West 15th Street, which was recently completed and boasts a total 85,000 square feet of office/retail space, will connect to the new building. CetraRuddy Architecture is designing the office plans. Technically, the foundation has already been poured.

Reveal For Three-Story, 25,000-Square-Foot Medical Pavilion At 455 East Bay Drive, Long Beach

3:00 pm on February 22, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Full renderings have been revealed of the planned three-story, 25,000-square-foot Medical Arts Pavilion at 455 East Bay Drive in Long Beach. That’s in southern Nassau County on Long Island. It will serve as the replacement to the former Long Beach Medical Center complex. In 2012, the 142-bed facility suffered from significant flood damage and was soon abandoned. After years of discussing how to rebuild the facility, LI Herald now reports South Nassau Communities Hospital is moving forward to build an emergency department that will not operate like its full-service hospital predecessor. The pavilion will, however, operate 24 hours a day and will feature standard emergency department capabilities and equipment. The existing complex’s main and west buildings will be gut-renovated and could potentially get a third-floor expansion. The structure will also have to be elevated to 23 feet above sea level to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency height requirements.
