Two Three-Story, Two-Family Residential Buildings Coming to 2416 East 15th Street, Sheepshead Bay

Brooklyn-based TNE Buildings has filed applications for two three-story, two-unit residential buildings at 2416-2418 East 15th Street, in Sheepshead Bay. They will measure 3,388 square feet each and, across both, their residential unit should average 1,270 square feet apiece. The apartments will be configured across a full floor and half of another, either above or below the full-floor level. There will also be a total of four off-street parking spaces, two of which will be housed in 250-square-foot garages. Pirooz Soltanizadeh’s Jamaica-based Royal Engineering is the applicant of record. The 5,000-square-foot plot is partially occupied by a two-story house. Demolition permits were filed in June. The Neck Road stop on the Q train is three blocks away.

LED Crown Atop 73-Story One57 Illuminated for First Time

YIMBY’s last update on One57 — the 73-story mixed-use tower, with 92 condominiums perched above a 210-key Park Hyatt Hotel, at 157 West 57th Street, in Midtown — was back in August of 2014. At the time, the removal of sidewalk shedding was underway, which signaled that construction had been completed. One last element, however, wasn’t revealed until earlier this week: the structure’s LED crown that faces Central Park. The western half was turned on, as seen in a photo posted to the YIMBY Forums. Renderings have long suggested an illuminated crown on the 1,005-foot-tall tower, which was designed by Paris-based Atelier Christian de Portzamparc. Extell Development Company developed One57. Per a count done in the spring, 38 condos remained unsold.

Five-Building, 992-Unit Mixed-Use Affordable Project La Central Approved by City Council

YIMBY revealed renderings and reported on new building applications last year for La Central, a five-building, 992-unit mixed-use development planned on an assemblage of vacant lots at 430 Westchester Avenue, in the South Bronx’s Melrose section. The project required approval via the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP). That process was nearly completed on Wednesday, when the City Council voted to approve the proposal, the Daily News reported. Mayor Bill de Blasio still has to sign off on it. Assuming his honor does, construction would be carried out in two phases, with the first phase to be completed in 2018 and the second in 2019. The buildings will range from eight to 25 stories and all 992 apartments will be designated as affordable or supportive housing. The majority will rent at below-market rates through the affordable housing lottery, although 160 will be supportive units. Over 45,000 square feet of retail is planned, as well as 30,000 square feet of community facilities.
