The Jersey City Redevelopment Agency is now reviewing proposals to construct West Side Crossing, a four-tower complex with more than 3,000 residential units. Located on an eight-acre assemblage near the Hackensack riverfront, West Side Crossing is the latest project from Bushburg Properties, which appointed Marchetto Higgins Stieve as architect of record.
Permits have been filed for a 13-story mixed-use building at 315 Grand Concourse in Mott Haven, The Bronx. Located between East 138th and East 140th Streets, the interior lot is steps from the 138th Street-Grand Concourse subway station, serviced by the 4 and 5 trains. Yechial Lichtenstein of Mint Development Corp. is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The affordable housing lottery has launched for Centennial Astoria, an eight-story mixed-use building at 14-53 31st Avenue in Astoria, Queens. Designed by JLS Designs and developed by Anthony Hu, the structure yields 33 residences and ground-floor commercial space. Available on NYC Housing Connect are five units for residents at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $65,143 to $167,570.
Demolition is underway at 570 Fifth Avenue, the site of a potential supertall skyscraper in Midtown, Manhattan. Developed by Extell, the tower could reach a height of 1,100 feet and 78 floors on a 43,011-square-foot plot at the corner of Fifth Avenue and West 46th Street. The parcel had mostly sat vacant for the past several years, and includes several old structures that are now in the process of being razed. There is still no architect publicly announced, nor clear indication of the building’s programming, though a series of zoning and massing diagrams and ground-floor plans suggest either an office complex or a residential and hotel development, with the latter reaching supertall status.
French design house Hermès has signed a 71,757-square-foot lease at 550 Madison Avenue, Philip Johnson’s landmarked commercial tower in Midtown East, Manhattan. The sprawling new office will span three full levels across the 23rd through 25th floors.
