Four-Story, Seven-Unit Residential Building Planned At 1362 54th Street, Borough Park

Mordechai Schwimmer has filed applications for a four-story, seven-unit residential building at 1362 54th Street, in central Borough Park, located right around the corner from 55th Street stop on the D train. The structure will measure 7,333 square feet in total, which means units will average a family-sized 1,048 square feet apiece. Diego Aguilera’s Rego Park-based architecture firm is the applicant of record. Demolition permits were recently filed to take down the existing 2.5-story, two-unit brick house.

Touring the Under Construction Condo Conversion at 212 Fifth Avenue, Flatiron District

The Neo-Gothic high-rise at 212 Fifth Avenue has occupied a wedge-shaped plot just north of Madison Square Park since 1912. It once held furniture and garment manufacturers, who had their offices on the upper floors and massive showrooms on the lower ones. Now, Madison and Thor Equities are converting the 24-story building to condos, and they’re restoring the landmarked limestone facade and cornices in the process. YIMBY recently toured the property and got a close-up look at the restoration.
