41-32 27th Street

Foundation Work Complete at Site of 15-Story, 43-Unit Residential Project, 41-32 27th Street, Long Island City

Back in March, renderings were revealed of the 15-story, 43-unit residential building under development at 41-32 27th Street, in the Queens Plaza section of Long Island City. Now, foundation work is nearly complete, The Court Square Blog reports, which means the structure can begin rising above street level. The new building, dubbed Steel Haus, will encompass 43,808 square feet upon completion. Its residential units, which will be rental apartments, should average 800 square feet apiece. Amenities include a fitness center, storage space for 23 bikes, private residential storage, and a rooftop recreational area. The Hakimian Organization is the developer, with ARC Architecture + Design Studio serving as the architect. David Howell Design is in charge of designing the interiors. Completion is expected in early 2017.


114 Suydam Street

New Three-Story, 29,000-Square-Foot Iglesia Pentecostal El Calvario Church Planned at 114 Suydam Street, Bushwick

Midtown-based Badillo Partners has filed applications for a three-story, 29,164-square-foot church, to be operated by Iglesia Pentecostal El Calvario, at 114 Suydam Street, in Bushwick, located two blocks from the Central Avenue stop on the M train. It will feature a lobby, an assembly room, classrooms, and a kitchen on the ground floor, followed by a house of worship, classrooms, and offices on the second floor, and finally meeting rooms, offices, and a rectory on the third floor. Peter Bafitis’s Chelsea-based RKTB Architects is the architect of record. The church’s former two-story building was demolished in January.




137 Centre Street

Thomas Juul-Hansen-Designed Residential Tower Proposed at 137 Centre Street, Chinatown

A rendering for a new Lower Manhattan skyscraper by architect Thomas Juul-Hansen has appeared on the YIMBY Forums. The building is located on the corner of White and Centre streets, at 137 Centre Street, just to the east of TriBeCa. Juul-Hansen’s rendering would indicate the potential for a 60-story building on a 5,100-square-foot lot. The tower would be located on a site that has significant air rights within its own block, with 75,530 square feet remaining atop the landmarked Fire Engine Company No. 31 at 87 Lafayette Street, and an additional 81,940 square feet atop 139 Centre Street. If the existing nine-story municipal office building at 137 Centre is demolished, the available air rights would total 208,470 square feet. Per the EDC, “Negotiations around the 137 Centre Street RFP are ongoing, and this rendering does not accurately reflect the project under consideration. NYCEDC looks forward to announcing a developer selection in the coming months.”
