Following lukewarm feedback from the commission, new renderings reveal an overall reduction of mass including structural height, exterior cladding, and shape.
Permits have been filed for a six-story residential building at 3055 Sedgwick Avenue in Kingsbridge Heights, The Bronx.

Moshe Zlicha under the Sedgwick Ave NY LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Construction has begun on the structural frames for 425 Park Avenue‘s trio of decorative parapet fins in Midtown East.

Construction is moving along at 98 Front Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn. The ten-story residential project is designed by ODA and will feature a range of condominium units from studios to four-bedroom homes with over 100 distinct layouts, starting at $670,000. New York-based real estate investment group Hope Street Capital launched sales last month.
