265 Van Brunt Street

Three-Story, 19-Unit Residential Building Tops Out At 265 Van Brunt Street, Red Hook

In early 2014, YIMBY reported on applications for a three-story, 19-unit residential building at 265 Van Brunt Street, in Red Hook, and then renderings of the project were revealed in early 2015. DNAinfo now reports the structure has topped out and is currently receiving its façade. The building appears to be four stories because it’s raised above the street level to prevent future flood waters from doing damage. Residential space will total 18,089 square feet, which means the rental units will average 952 square feet apiece. Cheever Development Corporation is behind the project and OCV Architects is designing it. Completion and occupancy are scheduled for this spring.

On the rest of the second floor and on the upper levels, there will be a total of 11 residential units averaging 931 square feet apiece. Rego Park-based Diego Aguilera Architects is the applicant of record. The 8,009 square-foot lot is currently being used for parking.

43-25 Hunter Street

50-Story, 974-Unit Mixed-Use Project Passes Halfway Point At 43-25 Hunter Street, Long Island City

It was in August that YIMBY last brought you a construction update on the two-tower, 974-unit mixed-use development under construction at 43-25 Hunter Street, in Long Island City. At the time, the smaller 14-story building just topped out and the larger building was a story above street level. Fast forward to today and the 50-story portion is now 27 stories in height, exceeding its halfway point, as reported by The Court Square Blog. Curtain wall installation is also well underway on both structures, and work appears to have already transitioned to the interior at the 14-story building. The entire project will encompass 921,592 square feet, although 726,305 square feet will be used as residential space. Units will average 787 square feet apiece and 20 percent of them will rent at below market-rates. In addition, 18,800 square feet of retail space will be located on the ground floor. SLCE Architects is designing and Rockrose Development Corp. is behind the project. Completion is targeted for the summer of 2017.
