Exterior work is getting close to completion on 145 Central Park North, aka 145 West 110th Street, a 132-foot-tall residential building in Harlem. Designed and constructed by GLUCK+ and developed by Grid Group, the 13-story, 37-unit project is located directly across the street from Central Park between Malcolm X Boulevard and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard.
Permits have been filed for an eight-story mixed-use building at 1520 Broadway in Ocean Hill, Brooklyn. Located on the corner of Hancock Street and Broadway, the lot is steps away from the Halsey Street subway station, serviced by the J train. MacQuesten Development is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Kaufman Astoria Studios first opened in 1921, and has long been a centerpiece of New York City’s media industry. The Astoria-based complex is no longer relying on its historical footprint, having recently become the first studio in the Five Boroughs to gain a backlot for filming. A backlot is a space containing permanent exterior sets. The latest addition to the campus will be a newly built four-story office building at 34-11 36th Street, Queens, that will include two new stages, which YIMBY can now reveal. The studio’s Astoria on Stage LLC is behind the applications.
With so much focus on the rising developments along Central Park South, there hasn’t been much discussion of new penthouses rising on the other end of the greenery, mostly because they are very few and far between. One of those rarities is 145 Central Park North, a 14-story residential building near the center of Central Park North in Harlem, between 7th Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard. Today, YIMBY has the first rendering of the project, which is being developed by Einhorn Development Group.
Construction at 150 Rivington Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side has moved along quickly. YIMBY last reported on the site’s progress in January, when the structure was just two stories high. Now, the building has topped-out, at seven stories. Cogswell Lee Development is responsible for the project, which replaces the former Streitz Matzo Factory.
