It was back in October of 2014 when the seven-story, 22-unit residential building topped out at 164 Attorney Street, on the Lower East Side. Bowery Boogie now reports construction has since been completed on the exterior of the 28,424-square-foot project, which is cladded with grey bricks punctuated by windows. There will be 3,600 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, and the rental apartments above should average 825 square feet apiece. Amenities includes private storage space, storage for 11 bikes, a six-car parking garage, and a rooftop terrace. An anonymous LLC is the developer and Newman Design Group is the architect of record. Completion is expected later this year.

Queens’s Second Tallest Tower, Tower 28 at 42-12 28th Street in Long Island City, Tops Out at 58 Stories

In February, YIMBY brought you two construction updates on the nearly topped out 58-story, 477-unit residential tower at 42-12 28th Street, in the Queens Plaza section of Long Island City. The project, dubbed Tower 28, has since topped out at 647 feet above street level, per the Court Square Blog, becoming the second tallest building in Queens and the city’s tallest residential building outside of Manhattan. The 398,702-square-foot tower will eventually contain rental apartments that average 823 square feet apiece. The bottom portions of the structure host a 50-car parking garage, bike storage, and many other amenities, in addition to 5,878 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Heatherwood Communities is the developer and Goldstein, Hill & West Architects is behind the design. Completion is expected in 2017.

Nine-Story, Eight-Unit Condominium Project Filed at 30 Thompson Street, SoHo

In June of 2015, news broke that a Karim Rashid-designed condominium project would be coming to 30 Thompson Street, in SoHo, and now new building applications have been filed for the project. The 18,000-square-foot project will rise nine stories, or 113 feet, above street level. It will contain a total of eight residential units, each averaging a spacious 1,741 square feet, indicative of condominiums. The ground floor and a mezzanine level will host a lobby, a small parking garage, and mechanical equipment, and the full-floor apartments will begin on the second floor. Weis Group, Mavrix Group, and Walker Ridge are the developers, while Heritage Architecture is serving as the architect of record. Completion is expected in late 2017. Demolition permits were filed in 2015 for the single-story warehouse occupying the site.


3458 Third Avenue

Six-Story, 47,000-Square-Foot School Planned at 3458 Third Avenue, Morrisania

Kiumarz Geula, doing business as an anonymous LLC, originally filed applications for a six-story, 46,954-square-foot school building at 3458 Third Avenue, in Morrisania, back in December of 2012. Now, the same plans are being revived under William Leung’s Financial District-based Array Architecture Studio, which replaced Westchester County-based SWL Architect. The new building’s ground floor will host a lobby and administrative offices. There will be classrooms located on the second through fifth floors, a cafeteria on the second, and a gymnasium on the sixth. There aren’t any details concerning who would be attending the school, although the city’s School Construction Authority appears not to be involved, which means it could be private.
