Developer Closes on Site of Planned 14-Story, 47-Unit Mixed-Use Project at 211 Schermerhorn Street, Downtown Brooklyn

1:00 pm on September 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

About a year ago, Chelsea-based GPB Capital Holdings entered into contract to acquire the development site at 211-215 Schermerhorn Street, in Downtown Brooklyn. Now, the entity has finally closed on the purchase for $30 million, Commercial Observer reported. The developer plans to build a 14-story, 47-unit mixed-use building at the site, as reported by YIMBY when filings were submitted earlier this year. The latest permits indicate the project will encompass 93,184 square feet. There will be 5,372 square feet of retail space across the ground and cellar levels, followed by residential units above. The units will be condominiums, averaging 1,464 square feet apiece. Morris Adjmi Architects is the architect of record. The 7,556-square-foot assemblage is currently vacant.

Two-Story, 8,300-Square-Foot Restaurant Planned at 150-50 Northern Boulevard, Murray Hill, Queens

11:00 am on September 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

An anonymous Flushing-based company has filed applications for a two-story, 8,363-square-foot commercial-retail building at 150-50 Northern Boulevard, located at the corner of Murray Street in Flushing’s Murray Hill section. The structure, which will host a restaurant on both floors, is to rise on a 4,500-square-foot lot currently occupied by a two-story commercial building. Demolition permits were filed for the existing structure in May. Permits indicate the adjacent corner lot and the paring lot to the south are a part of the assemblage. Permits were filed to demolish the single-story corner building, at 150-56 Northern Boulevard, in June, but no new building permits have been submitted for that lot. Suk Hwan Kim’s Flushing-based Design Group in H&K is the architect of record. The site is located four blocks from the neighborhood’s Long Island Rail Road station.

8:00 am on September 1, 2016 By Evan Bindelglass

Centered just below Central Park’s southern edge, super-slender supertall 111 West 57^th Street will probably be iconic before it is even finished. Of course, that won’t be for a couple of years. However, some visible progress is being made at the construction site in Midtown.

7:00 am on September 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Construction has topped out on the 13-story, 240-unit mixed-use building under development at 3 Journal Square Plaza, in Jersey City‘s Journal Square section. Photos of the structure were recently posted to the YIMBY Forums. Dubbed The Residences at 3 Journal Square and revealed by YIMBY roughly a year ago, it will encompass 219,446 square feet. There will be retail space and residential amenities on the ground floor, followed by rental apartments above. Known amenities include a four-level underground parking garage, which the project was built atop, and a rooftop terrace. Hartz Mountain and Panepinto Properties are the developers. Marchetto Higgins Stieve Architects is the design architect and the Childs Dreyfus Group is responsible for the interiors. Tocci Building Companies is managing construction. Completion can probably be expected by the end of the year.

730-Unit Mixed-Use Project Proposed at 2460 Second Avenue, East Harlem

6:30 am on September 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) has released preliminary plans, ahead of a presentation set to be given later in September, to develop a 1.1-million-square-foot mixed-use project at 2460 Second Avenue, in northern East Harlem. The city-owned property, currently a vacant 105,000-square-foot former bus depot, was the site of a church and a slave burial ground during the 17th century, Commercial Observer reported. The redevelopment would include a 15,000-square-foot living memorial and cultural center in honor those who were buried there. The rest of the project could include 730 rental apartments, half of which would rent at below-market rates. In addition, the plan calls for 315,000 square feet of commercial space, including retail and offices, and 30,000 square feet for community facilities. It would be accommodated by a 300-car parking garage and 18,000 square feet of outdoor space. Since the site is city-owned, the project must be approved through the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). Completion is tentatively set for 2022. The block-encompassing site is located between East 126th and 127th streets.

6:00 am on September 1, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Bronx-based A&J Holding USA has filed applications for three three-story, two-family houses at 4135A – 4135C De Reimer Avenue, in the East Bronx section of Wakefield. The buildings will each measure 3,175 square feet and will host a single unit on their ground floors, followed by a second unit across the two upper levels. Across all three houses, the apartments should average a family-sized 1,190 square feet apiece. Each house will also come with two off-street parking spaces, one of which will be housed in a 250-square-foot garage. Pirooz Soltanizadeh’s Jamaica-based Royal Engineering is the applicant of record. The 75-foot-wide plot currently contains the foundational remains of a stalled-out project.
