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.

Four-Story, Two-Unit Residential Building Planned at 143 Bay 47th Street, Gravesend

Property owner Noureldin Moustafa has filed applications for a four-story, two-unit residential building at 143 Bay 47th Street, in southern Gravesend. The project will measure 3,119 square feet and its residential units should average 1,195.6 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. One of the apartments will span the ground and second floors, followed by the other apartment on the third and fourth floor. The upper unit will feature a roof terrace. Douglas Pulaski’s Brooklyn-based Bricolage Designs is the architect of record. The 20-foot-wide, 1,933-square-foot property is currently vacant. It was occupied by a brick garage until that was demolished in early 2015. The Bay 50th Street stop on the D train is located three blocks away.


228 Beach 109th Street

Three-Story, Three-Unit Residential Building Planned at 228 Beach 109th Street, Seaside, Queens

Under the post-Hurricane Sandy Build It Back Program, property owner Robert J. Quill has filed applications for a three-story, three-unit residential building at 228 Beach 109th Street, in Seaside, located along the Rockaways in Queens. It will contain 1,972 square feet of residential space, which means the residential units should average 657 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. They would be located on two floors above a flood-resistant ground floor. Financial District-based CSA Group is the architect of record. An existing two-story house must first be demolished. Demolition permits haven’t been filed. The Beach 105th Street stop on the A and Rockaway Park Shuttle trains is three blocks away.

Two Single-Story, 4,320-Square-Foot Retail Buildings Coming to 1806 Seward Avenue, Classon Point

Bronx-based K.O. Construction Corp. has filed applications for two single-story, 4,320-square-foot commercial-retail buildings at 654 Beach Avenue and 1806 Seward Avenue, in the East Bronx’s Classon Point section. Both would rise 18 feet in height and would contain “retail stores,” according to the Schedule A. Kenneth A. Koons’s Bronx-based architectural firm is the architect of record. They would rise on a vacant 8,984-square-foot property on the corner of Seward and Beach avenues, which would be subdivided into two tax lots. The site is located roughly a mile south of the St. Lawrence Avenue stop on the 6 train.

Three Two-Story, Two-Family Houses Coming to 219-05 112th Avenue, Queens Village

Mineola, N.Y.-based Shilony Assaf has filed applications for three two-story, two-family houses at 219-05 112th Avenue, in Queens Village. Only one individual new building permit has been filed so far, although all three houses will likely be similar in size. The houses should measure roughly 3,720 square feet, and across all there, there will be 6,528 square feet of residential space. All six full-floor units should average 1,088 square feet apiece, indicative of family-sized configurations. There will also be at least three off-street parking spaces. David Nagan’s Fresh Meadows-based King David Architecture is the architect of record. The 80-foot-wide, 10,138-square-foot property is currently occupied by a two-story, single-family house. Demolition and subdivision permits were filed in June.
