An anonymous Staten Island-based LLC has filed applications for a three-story, 15,587-square-foot children’s daycare facility at 1719 Hylan Boulevard, located on the corner of Garretson Avenue in Dongan Hills, along Staten Island’s East Shore. The center will feature an office, daycare rooms, classrooms, and a playground on the roof, according to the project’s Schedule A. There will be six off-street parking spaces. Staten Island-based Sanna & Loccisano Architects is the architect of record. The 9,590-square-foot site was occupied by a single-story commercial building until it was demolished earlier this month. The Dongan Hills station on the Staten Island Railway is three blocks away.

Residential Conversion Possibly In The Works At 14-Story, 80,000-Square-Foot Commercial Building, 140 West 57th Street, Midtown

Property owner Feil Organization is now clearing out a majority of the 14-story, 80,000-square-foot commercial building at 140 West 57th Street, along “Billionaires’ Row” in Midtown. The third through 14th floors are possibly getting a condominium conversion, the New York Post reported, although plans are not yet confirmed. The space could also get an office renovation or a hotel conversion, but plans for apartments have already been drawn up and are apparently further along. The three-level Morton Williams supermarket, located along the street level, will be unaffected. The property is an individual landmark, which means any exterior alterations that go into a renovation or conversion must be approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
