A rendering has been revealed of sculptor Barry X Ball’s new three-story, 19,000-square-foot studio warehouse planned at 193 Banker Street, in southern Greenpoint. The latest building permits show that manufacturing space will be on the ground floor, office space on the second floor, and a 1,524-square-foot living quarters will be located on the third floor.
The Clinton Housing Development Company (CHDC) is planning to convert the six-story commercial building at 500 West 52nd Street, located on the corner of Tenth Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen, into 46 affordable residential units exclusively for seniors who are performance artists. The conversion will also include the creation of 13,000 square feet of non-profit office space.
It’s been two years since renderings first appeared for the oddly named “Ballgreen Complex” at 186 Lenox Road in Flatbush. The unfortunate design and green-tinted facade haven’t changed a bit. But construction has reached its full height at eight stories, and workers have begun installing windows at the site between Bedford and Rogers Avenues.
The South Bronx hotel boom is picking back up again. Last week, plans were filed for a 10-story hotel at 2568 Park Avenue, in an industrially zoned section of Mott Haven.
Construction is complete on the residential conversion of the former P.S. 186, a previously-dilapidated five-story structure located at 525 West 145th Street, in the Hamilton Heights section of Harlem. The latest photos of the building, dubbed the Residences at PS186, can be seen in a Curbed NY report. The building contains 79 residential units, all of which are renting at below-market rates through the affordable housing lottery. The apartments, ranging from studios to two-bedrooms, should average 1,089 square feet apiece. The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem will occupy 11,000 square feet of space on the ground floor.
