Sometime earlier this year, the 10-story, 50-unit mixed-use building at 27 Albany Avenue, located on the corner of Fulton Street in south-central Bedford-Stuyvesant, topped out. Façade installation is now well underway, as seen in a photo courtesy of construction photographer Tectonic.
The nine-story, 32-unit residential project under development at 42-50 27th Street, in Long Island City’s Queens Plaza/Court Square section, has topped out. The structure can be seen in a photograph by The Court Square Blog. The new building measures 35,294 square feet and rises 89 feet above the street level. Its residential units should average 777 square feet apiece, which means the apartment will likely be rentals, although smaller condominiums are slowly becoming more attractive and are a possibility here. The Ampiera Group is the developer and Flushing-based MY Architect is behind the architecture. Completion is expected next year.
An anonymous Brooklyn-based LLC has filed applications for a six-story, 12-unit residential building at 373 East 157th Street, in the South Bronx’s Melrose section. The project will measure 10,083 square feet and its residential units should average 641 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Amenities include laundry facilities and bike storage. Luis Depasquale’s Cronton-on-Hudson,N.Y.-based firm LMD Architect is the architect of record. The 2,493-square-foot lot is currently occupied by a two-story brick building. Demolition permits haven’t been filed. Metro-North Railroad’s Melrose station is located five blocks north.
The city is gearing up to rezone a 73-block stretch of Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, and politicians, activists, and members of local community boards spoke in frustrated tones last Thursday during the first public meeting on what promises to be one of the most controversial neighborhood plans of Mayor de Blasio’s time in office. Major players from the south and west Bronx offered opposing views on who should benefit from new housing and on whether Jerome’s hundreds of auto shops should remain.
