Mixed-Use

599 Johnson Avenue

Two-Story, 26,000-Square-Foot Mixed-Use Commercial Redevelopment Underway at 599 Johnson Avenue, East Williamsburg

Property owner Bushwack Capital is currently redeveloping the two-story, 16,600-square-foot former industrial building at 599 Johnson Avenue, in western Bushwick, into a 26,000-square-foot mixed-use commercial property. The Williamsburg-based club Glasslands Gallery is expected to lease a roughly 24,000-square-foot venue, dubbed Elsewhere, for events on the ground floor, Commercial Observer reported. Another 2,300-square-foot space on the ground floor is intended for a restaurant, and 2,250 square feet on the second floor will be utilized as commercial-office space geared towards the arts. Chelsea-based Kossar + Garry Architects is the architect of record and Greco Construction Development is the general contractor. Completion is expected this fall. Bushwack acquired the property for $4.45 million in February of 2015, and a few months after, YIMBY reported on applications for the conversion project.



Peninsula Hospital Center

Multi-Building, Mixed-Use Development Proposed for Former Peninsula Hospital Center Site, Edgemere, Queens

The Arker Companies and the Northeast Brooklyn Housing Development Corporation have acquired, for $19 million, the site of the former Peninsula Hospital Center, located at 51-15 Beach Channel Drive in Edgemere, along the Rockaways in Queens. The developers plan to build a multi-building residential and commercial complex, according to DNAinfo. It’s unclear how large the project will be, but plans will be going through the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), which indicates an individual rezoning is in the works. That means at least 30 percent of the residential units will have to be affordable. A four-story nursing home on site is currently occupied and will remain, but the four-story, 173-bed hospital building will be demolished. The hospital has been closed since 2012. The site – bound by Beach 50th Street, Rockaway Beach Boulevard, Beach 53rd Street, and Beach Channel Drive – is five blocks from the Beach 60th Street stop on the A train.


1301 Surf Avenue

Mixed-Use Commercial Conversion Planned for Eight-Story Coney Island Theater Building, 1301 Surf Avenue

The first preliminary renderings have been revealed of the planned mixed-use commercial conversion of the eight-story, 115,000-square-foot Coney Island Theater Building (a.k.a. Shore Theater), an individual landmark at 1301 Surf Avenue, located on the corner of Stillwell Avenue on Coney Island. PYE Properties currently plans to transform the property into retail space and a hotel, while restoring the existing theater, which has been rapidly deteriorating, to an entertainment venue, Brooklyn Daily reported. Office and community space may also be included, depending on the tenants that show interest. Alteration permits haven’t yet been filed with the Buildings Department. Since the building is a landmark, the Landmarks Preservation Commission must approved any exterior alterations. PYE acquired the Shore Theater in January for $20 million. The Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue stop on the D/F and N/Q trains is across the street.

Work is well underway to install the curtain wall on the 11-story, 39-unit mixed-use building under development at 520 West 28th Street, in West Chelsea. The construction progress can be seen thanks to photos taken by ILNY/NYConstructionPhoto (h/t Curbed NY). The building, encompassing 188,696 square feet, was designed by the late Zaha Hadid, who also fashioned the yet-to-be revealed design for another condominium project at 220 11th Avenue, two blocks south. At 520 West 28th Street, the ground floor will host 11,183 square feet of commercial-retail, followed by 39 condominiums on the floors above. On average, the apartments should measure 3,533 square feet. Amenities include a 75-foot-long pool, a private IMAX theater, a spa suite, an entertainment room, a fitness center, private residential storage space, a garden near the lobby, and an automated 11-car parking garage in the cellar. Related Companies is the developer and Ismael Leyva Architect is the architect of record. The structure topped out earlier this year and completion is expected later this year.
