The Department of City Planning recently review rezoning proposals from Sheepshead Nursing Rehabilitation Center to facilitate the construction of a new dialysis center and critical upgrades to the building’s mechanical systems. The property is located at 2840 Knapp Street in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn with frontage along Brigham Street, Shore Parkway, and Knapp Street.
Renderings from SHoP Architects reveal One45, a proposed mixed-use development that will house the new Museum of Civil Rights, income restricted housing, and unspecified community facilities. The development site comprises a five-lot assemblage in West Harlem between 144th and 145th Streets, Lenox Avenue, and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Boulevard. Elevation diagrams for the proposed buildings reveal an 85-foot-tall base with two towers, each rising to a height of approximately 363 feet. Roof mechanicals account for an additional 30 vertical feet.
Plans to construct a pair of high-rise towers at 250 Water Street in the South Street Seaport Historic District have been dramatically scaled down, as revealed in updated proposals from Howard Hughes Corporation and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Additional members of the project team include architects JHPA and historic preservation consultants Higgins Quasebarth & Partners.
City agencies are now reviewing proposals from BRP Companies to construct a new 14-story mixed-use building at 270 Nostrand Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Before construction can begin, the developer needs to secure zoning text amendments for an increase in allowable building height and density.
GF55 Architects has released final exterior renderings of 8 Palmetto Street, a new mixed-use residential building in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Located at the intersection of Broadway and Palmetto Street, the new property stands seven stories tall and comprises nearly 104,000 square feet.
