7:00 am on January 15, 2016 By Evan Bindelglass

It was way back in September of 2014 that YIMBY reported on filings for a new residential building at 38-46 West 33rd Street (a.k.a. 38 West 33rd Street), in Midtown South. Then in June of 2015, we revealed a rendering of the project. In September, the Torkian Group development got financed by a $105 million loan. Now, the project’s scope is slightly bigger and construction is underway, which we can see in a pair of photos sent to us by our friend Tectonic.

In 2014, YIMBY revealed renderings for a mixed-use redevelopment of the buildings at 119-123 Kent Avenue, in northern Williamsburg, located three blocks from the Bedford Avenue Station on the L train. Now, Commercial Observer reports CW Realty and Joyland Group have acquired the three four-story tenement buildings for $15.9 million, which measure roughly 15,000 square all together and come with 5,700 square feet of air rights. The new owners plan to combine the three buildings through the first floor and create a 5,625 square-foot retail space. It’s not known if the old proposal is being built, but the properties’ existing 18 total residential units will be renovated. Only two of them are currently occupied (and they are rent-stabilized).

10:00 am on January 14, 2016 By Reid Wilson

London-based Quadrum Global acquired the 179,000 square-foot development site at 53 Huron Street (a.k.a. 161 West Street), in Greenpoint, back in 2014 for $45.5 million. With the inclusionary housing bonus and an up-zoning, the site could accommodate a roughly 430,000 square-foot development, and Young Kim’s Queens-based Tan Architect has designed such a project. According to Brownstoner, the plans, which are currently on hold, sport 15- and 22-story residential towers with 516 total units. A sky bridge would connect the towers, and a multi-level podium would include parking, a terrace, and probably retail space. It’s not known when the developer will move forward with the project, which would require the demolition of a two-story warehouse.
