11 East 75th Street

Owner Denied Permission To Combine Three Upper East Side Properties Into Mansion At 11-15 East 75th Street

In July of 2015, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich closed on the purchase of the five-story townhouse at 13 East 75th Street, on the Upper East Side, for $30 million, completing an assemblage which includes the multi-family building at 11 East 75th Street and the townhouse at 15 East 75th Street. So far, Abramovich has spent a total $78 million acquiring the three properties, and within the last few months, filed applications to combine them into an 18,225-square-foot mansion. The New York Post now reports the applications were, unsurprisingly, disapproved. Combining the buildings would be complex since the structures have uneven floor plates and the Landmarks Preservation Commission would have to approve the project, as it’s located within the Upper East Side Historic District. Stephen Wang + Associates was serving as the architect of record.

Property owner Haim Levy, doing business as Phoenix Home Realty Inc., has filed applications for a four-story, four-unit residential building at 129 Schaefer Street, in eastern Bushwick, located five blocks from the Wilson Avenue stop on the L train. The structure will measure just 5,133 square feet and its full-floor residential units should average 1,027 square feet apiece. That means family-sized rental units are probably in the works here. Queens-based Gerald J. Caliendo is the architect of record. The 19-foot-wide lot is currently vacant.

807 Park Avenue

12-Story, Five-Unit Redevelopment Project At 807 Park Avenue Placed On Market, Upper East Side

11:00 am on March 4, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In June of 2015, YIMBY reported that the Landmarks Preservation Commission – after several contentious sessions – approved redevelopment plans for the 12-story, five-unit residential building at 807 Park Avenue, between East 74th and 75th streets, on the Upper East Side. The 18,972-square-foot project includes rebuilding the existing structure but keeping intact the remnant of the original building’s façade on floors two through five. The current building consists of a 12-story, three-unit rental property, although the site is now being placed on the market for north of $30 million by its owner, Aion Partners, the New York Post reports. The approved redevelopment plans, designed by PBDW Architects and Higgins Quasebarth & Partners, include a triplex unit across the ground through third floors, three duplex units across the next six floors, and a triplex unit on the 10th through 13th floors.
