Permits have been filed for a four-story medical facility at 86-55 Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst, Queens. The site is three blocks away from the Grand Avenue-Newton subway station, serviced by the E, M, and R trains. The developer, Flushing-based Justice Avenue Tower LLC, has another project right next door, at 88-08 Justice Avenue.
Permits have been filed for a four-story residential building at 2033 Eat 17th Street in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. The site is three blocks away from the Avenue U subway station, serviced by the Q trains, and one stop away from a transfer to the B train. Subhi Bukai is listed as behind the applications.
Just south of the still-exposed train yard that gave the Hudson Yards neighborhood its name, progress is being made on another two new mixed-use skyscrapers. While teasers have been shown before, the first full renderings are now out for the towers planned at Block 675. Douglaston Development will be responsible for 601 West 29th Street, and Lalezarian Properties is behind 606 West 30th Street.
Earlier today, Gamma Real Estate secured approval from the Board of Standards and Appeals to continue with construction of the Foster + Partners designed residential tower that will rise over 800 feet above its surrounding context, at 3 Sutton Place. Located just south of the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge on East 58th Street between Sutton Place South and 1st Avenue, and only a stone’s throw away from the East River, the project has continued to stir controversy and disapproval from local NIMBYs, who have been attacking the plans since renderings were revealed back in December 2015.
New Rochelle‘s Industrial Development Agency will consider a new 23-story project located at 277 North Avenue. The tower will include a mix of market rate and affordable rental units above lower-level retail and an adjacent enclosed parking structure.
