Steel work is now underway on the ground floor of the five-story, 64-unit mixed-use building being developed at 29-10 Broadway, located between 29th and 30th streets in the heart of Astoria. The update is possible thanks to photos posted to the YIMBY Forums. The latest permits indicate an 87,372-square-foot building is in the works. The ground floor will contain 15,940 square feet of commercial-retail space, followed by residential units on the floors above. The units should average 688 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Amenities will include bike storage, a 32-car underground garage, laundry facilities, a lounge, a fitness center, and terraces on the fourth, fifth, and rooftop levels. Bronx-based Jestam Realty is the developer and Aufgang Architects is the architect of record. Completion is expected in early 2017.

There will be 5,100 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The residential units, condominiums, will range from studios to three-bedrooms.

Issac & Stern Architects is the design architect. Andres Escobar & Associates is designing the interiors. Completion is expected in early 2017.

Brooklyn-based DeVito Development has filed applications for four three-story, three-unit residential buildings at 1749-1759 Benson Avenue, in Bath Beach. Each of the them will measure 2,770 square feet and their full-floor residential units should average 923 square feet apiece, which means apartments with family-sized configurations are in the works. Each building will include two off-street parking spaces, one space of which will be located in a ground floor garage. Douglas Pulaski’s Brooklyn-based Bricolage Designs is the architect of record. The 97-foot-wide, 6,863-square-foot property, located at the corner of Bay 17th Street, is occupied by a two-story house. Demolition permits were filed earlier this month. The 18th Avenue stop on the D train is two blocks away.
