221 Franklin Avenue

Four-Story, Two-Unit Residential Project Coming To 221 Franklin Avenue, Bedford-Stuyvesant

Property owner Moses Waldman has filed applications for a four-story, two-unit residential building at 221 Franklin Avenue, in western Bedford-Stuyvesant, located three blocks from the Classon Avenue stop on the G train. The structure will measure a total 8,714 square feet. One unit will span the ground and second floors, and the second unit will take up the third and fourth floors. The apartments should average a very spacious 2,983 square feet apiece, which means family-sized condominiums are surely in the works. Mt. Vernon, N.Y.-based Jeffrey Sandor Orling Architect is the architect of record. The 25-foot-wide lot is currently occupied by a two-story wood-framed townhouse.

Reveal For Five-Story, 35,000-Square-Foot Maserati Dealership At 639 Eleventh Avenue, Hell’s Kitchen

Back in February of 2015, YIMBY reported on plans for a five-story, 35,000-square-foot commercial building at 639 Eleventh Avenue, located on the corner of West 47th Street, in Hell’s Kitchen. Now, the Wall Street Journal reports BNF Automotive Group has begun construction on the building, which will house Maserati’s new Manhattan flagship dealership. The structure will sport a rooftop terrace, high ceilings, and a glassy curtain wall. Foundation work is reportedly underway and completion is expected in February of 2017. BNF Automative Group signed a 49-year ground lease for the 5,042-square-foot property, which is owned by Samyon Ruvinsky. CAI Architecture is behind the design and Dome Architecture & Design Group is the architect of record.

The ground-floor will contain 17,785 square feet of retail space, 2,400 square feet of medical office space, and a 219-car parking garage. Amenities include 12,000 square feet of storage space, a fitness center, and a laundry in the cellar, in addition to a rooftop terrace. Queens-based Gerald J. Caliendo Architect is the architect of record. Bronx-based Steve Zervoudis is listed as the property owner, and occupancy can probably be expected later this year.

12-Story, 87-Unit Residential Project Tops Out At 41-22 24th Street, Long Island City

In January, the 12-story, 87-unit residential building under development at 41-22 24th Street, in the Queens Plaza section of Long Island City, was seven stories above street level. Now, The Court Square Blog reports the 85,582-square-foot project has topped out 120 feet above street level. Curtain wall installation has not begun yet, although the structure is currently completely veiled in scaffolding and work should begin soon. The rental apartments should average 761 square feet apiece, and amenities listed in the Schedule A include a rooftop terrace, storage for 45 bikes, a 21-car parking garage, a fitness center, entertainment rooms, a laundry room, and tenant storage space. Lions Group is the developer and MY Architect is behind the design. Completion is expected by the end of this year.
