Brooklyn-based David Ogorek has filed applications for a six-story, 10-unit mixed-use building at 2213 65th Street, in Mapleton, located a block from the Bay Parkway stop on the N train. The project will encompass 16,033 square feet and will include 2,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor for retail and offices. Residential units will begin on the second floor and should average a relatively spacious 1,000 square feet apiece.

Developer Acquires Commercial Property Within Proposed Williamsburg Enhanced Business District

Simon Baron Development has acquired the two-story commercial property at 12 Franklin Street, in southern Greenpoint, for $24 million, according to The Real Deal. Located six blocks from the Nassau Avenue stop on the G train, the property is within the proposed Enhanced Business District, which would allow developers to trade light manufacturing space for extra office space in the North Williamsburg Industrial Business Zone. Before proposing to build anything, Baron is waiting to see how well the proposed rezoning works. Under current zoning, the property could accommodate a new 55,500 square-foot commercial building, or if community facility space is included, a 133,320 square-foot building.

Developer Successfully Assembles Air Rights For Supertall Mixed-Use Tower At 80 South Street

This past summer, the U.S. branch of Beijing-based China Oceanwide Holdings made a deal with Howard Hughes Corp. to acquire the development site at 80 South Street, in the Financial District, for $390 million. Now Curbed reports the developer has received approval from the City Planning Commission to transfer 426,940 square feet of air rights to the site. That means a mixed-use building of up to 1,067,350 square feet could be built, of which 512,300 square feet could contain residential units. That could mean a supertall tower at the site along the South Street Seaport. Applications have not been submitted to the Department of Buildings yet, but the latest document suggest the developer will be taking full advantage of the site and a large commercial component is being planned. A design architect has not yet been revealed. A number of low- and mid-rise buildings would first have to be demolished.
