379 Sumpter Street

Four-Story, Eight-Unit Residential Building Planned at 379 Sumpter Street, Ocean Hill

Brooklyn-based MBC Group has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 379 Sumpter Street, in Ocean Hill. The structure will measure 5,482 square feet and its residential units should average 658 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Each floor will host two apartments, and amenities should include laundry facilities and “recreation spaces” in the cellar, as well as terraces on the fourth floor, probably in conjunction with the residences on that floor. Genaro Urueta’s Maspeth-based Studio Gallos is the architect of record. The 25-foot-wide, 2,500-square-foot lot is currently occupied by a recessed single-story structure. The Chauncey Street stop on the J/Z trains is two blocks away, while the Rockaway Avenue stop on the A/C trains is five blocks south.

11-Story, 55-Unit Mixed-Use Building Rises Above Street Level at 11-51 47th Avenue, Long Island City

Construction is underway on the ground floor of the 11-story, 55-unit mixed-use building being developed at 11-51 47th Avenue, in the Hunters Point section of Long Island City, located on the corner of 21st Street and Jackson Avenue. The construction can be seen in photos in a post by The Court Square Blog. Dubbed the Jackson, it will eventually measure 70,000 square feet. It will feature 1,226 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, followed by one- to four-bedroom condominiums on the floors above. On average, the apartments should measure 962 square feet apiece. Amenities are to include a fitness center, a children’s playroom, a residents’ lounge, a rooftop terrace, storage for bikes, and a 22-car parking garage. Charney Construction & Development, Ascent Development, and Tavros are the developers, while Fogarty Finger is behind the design. Completion is expected in early 2017.


325 Calyer Street

Four-Story, 37,000-Square-Foot Manufacturing-Medical Building Filed at 325 Calyer Street, Greenpoint

Brooklyn-based property owner Anthony Wala has filed applications to expand the single-story manufacturing warehouse at 325 Calyer Street, in Greenpoint, into a four-story, 36,894-square-foot mixed-use commercial structure. Manufacturing space, making up 18,894 square feet, would be located on the ground, mezzanine, and second floors. Medical office space, totaling 18,000 square feet, would be located on the third and fourth floors. There would also be a 60-car garage on the ground floor. Jeffrey L. Kamen’s NoHo-based architectural firm is the architect of record. The 18,894-square-foot, block-thru lot is located eight blocks from the Greenpoint Avenue stop on the G train. The filings come on the heels of plans for a six-story, car repair-office building at 305 Calyer Street.

Construction Wrapping on 33-Story, 69-Unit Mixed-Use Tower at 172 Madison Avenue, Midtown South

The 33-story, 419-foot-tall mixed-use building under development at 172 Madison Avenue, on the northwest corner of East 33rd Street in Midtown South, has now topped out and exterior construction is wrapping up.

There will also be a mansion on the third floor and the tower will be topped by a four full-floor penthouses and a Sky House triplex apartment. The ground floor will have 4,361 square feet of retail space. Amenities include a swimming pool with accessory saunas and lockers (there will also be two private pools), a fitness center, a yoga/ballet room, bike storage, a children’s playroom, an entertainment lounge, a dog washing station, and private residential storage units. Tessler Developments is behind the project, and Karl Fischer is responsible for the design. Occupancy is expected this fall.


80 South Street

First Glimpse of SHoP’s 80 South Street, Set to Soar Over 1,400 Feet

Yesterday was ‘Archmodel Wednesday’ on Instagram, which meant that YIMBY Forumers were actively posting images of several new developments. And in the background of an image containing SHoP’s 111 West 57th Street, our team of cyber-sleuths spotted another project that has not yet been revealed. 80 South Street’s massing diagram had alluded to the tower’s supertall potential, but now we have a look at an actual model of the building, though the fine-grained details remain fuzzy, which confirms that the tower will rise over 1,400 feet tall. That would make it the tallest building by roof height in Lower Manhattan, standing approximately 50 feet above the rooftop of One World Trade Center.
