Developers Plan Residential Tower At Newly Acquired 2255 Broadway, Upper West Side

There were rumors back in the summer of 2015 that the three-story, 20,000-square-foot retail building at 2251-2259 Broadway (a.k.a. 256 West 81st Street), on the Upper West Side, would be demolished for a new building, and it appears that will be the case. Alchemy Properties and Carlyle Group have purchased the property for $51 million and, according to The Real Deal, are planning to build a condominium tower. Alchemy Properties leased the building last year to remove all its tenants, and the structure will subsequently be demolished. The project could be as large as 94,000 square feet, but no demolition permits or new building applications have been filed yet.


25 Legion Street

Five-Story, Seven-Unit Mixed-Use Building Filed At 25 Legion Street, Brownsville

Property owner Moisey Suleymanov, doing business as Queens-based M&C Organization Inc., has filed applications for a five-story, seven-unit mixed-use building at 25 Legion Street, in Brownsville, located seven blocks from the Sutter Avenue – Rutland Road stop on the 3 train. The new building will encompass 12,000 square feet and will include 3,212 square feet of commercial-retail space on the ground floor. There will be two units per floor on floors two through four and a single unit on the top level. The apartment units should average a family-sized 1,017 square feet apiece and the project will be topped by a roof deck. Brooklyn-based Dmytro Chornobryvets is the architect of record. An existing two-story brick rowhouse must first be demolished.

Developer Plans 20-Story, 65-Unit Mixed-Use Building At 200 East 21st Street, Gramercy

In the summer of 2015, Chelsea-based Alfa Development entered into contract to acquire the development site spanning 253-261 Third Avenue (a.k.a 200 East 21st Street), in Gramercy, and now the developer is planning a 20-story, 65-unit mixed-use building. The Real Deal reports the project will measure 104,700 square feet in total and will include 7,200 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The rest of the new building will contain 65 condominium units, which will come in one- to four-bedroom layouts. BKSK Architects will be responsible for the design. Reportedly, the developers filed permits for the project, although they have yet to hit public record. Demolition permits, however, are on file for all of the assemblage’s existing buildings. Four three-story structures are to be demolished at 253-259 Third Avenue, and a five-story, 12-unit tenement building at 200 East 21st Street will be razed.


90-02 168th Streets

Shopping Complex Plans Nixed At 90-02 168th Street, Downtown Jamaica

Back in 2013, the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation (GJDC) and Blumenfeld Development Group signed an agreement to build a 160,000-square-foot retail complex accompanied by a 550-space parking garage across two vacant lots in downtown Jamaica, specifically at 90-01 168th Street and 90-02 168th Street. Then early last year, the developers said they would build an additional 105,000 square feet of retail space and an affordable residential building. DNAinfo now reports the 2013 deal has terminated, effectively halting any plans for the sites. At this point, the GJDC plans to release a new and updated Request for Proposals (RFP), that will more than likely include affordable housing, for both properties later this spring. Both lots are currently being used for surface parking.

State Puts Approval On Hold For 29-, 14-Story Pier 6 Residential Towers, Brooklyn Heights

In June of 2015, YIMBY revealed renderings of the winning proposal that would bring two mixed-use towers to Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, located in southern Brooklyn Heights. The project consists of a 29-story, 192-unit market-rate condominium building with 3,870 square feet of retail and a shorter, 14-story counterpart with 117 affordable and 30 market-rate rental apartments, a preschool, 930 square feet of retail, and a 1,500 square-foot community facility. Curbed NY now reports the project is on hold following relentless community opposition. The Empire State Development Corporation is not approving the project until the city can come to an agreement with the community on it. The city selected RAL Development and Oliver Realty to develop the two vacant sites, with ODA New York as the design architect. Construction was scheduled to begin this spring.
