This week, city agencies announced the completion of Alberta Place, a new $12.3 million affordable housing complex for adults 55 years old and above. The property is located at 64 Amsterdam Avenue in Amherst, New York and was developed by Belmont Housing Resources for WNY with support from the New York State Homes and Community Renewal.
Demo permits have been filed for 270 West 96th Street on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, the future site of a 23-story mixed-use tower designed by SLCE Architects. Located between West End Avenue and Broadway, the 2,850-square-foot lot is currently occupied by a two-story commercial building built in 1910. Fetner Properties is listed as the owner behind the application.
The affordable housing lottery has launched for 18A Bleecker Street, a four-story residential building built in 2017 in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Designed by RCGA Architects, the structure yields 7,749 square feet and eight residences. Available on NYC Housing Connect are two units for residents at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $73,715 to $139,620.
The new glass curtain wall has begun installation on 660 Fifth Avenue, a 39-story commercial building in Midtown, Manhattan. Formerly addressed as 666 Fifth Avenue, the office tower is in the process of having its mid-century façade replaced with a modern envelope in a project designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and developed by Brookfield Properties. The 1.5-million-square-foot property is located between West 52nd and 53rd Streets.
Exterior work is wrapping up on the Taystee Lab Building, an 11-story mixed-use project at 450 West 126th Street in the Manhattanville section of West Harlem. Designed by LEVENBETTS and SLCE and developed by Janus Property Group, the 350,000-square-foot building will yield Class A office space as well as lab facilities and additional space for organizations devoted to life sciences, technology, academic and non-profit programs, retail, and the arts. The complex gets its name from the Taystee Cake Bakery Factory that once stood on the plot. BR+A Consulting Engineers constructed the rectangular reinforced concrete structure and LendLease served as the construction manager for the edifice. 450 West 126th Street is located between Amsterdam Avenue to the west and Morningside Avenue to the east.
