Brooklyn-based Mendel Gold has filed applications for a four-story, eight-unit residential building at 115 Suydam Street, in western Bushwick, located three blocks from the Central Avenue stop on the M train. The project will measure 7,832 square feet in total and will include 5,660 square feet of residential space. That means units will average 708 square feet apiece, indicative of rental units. Hudson Valley-based Aryeh Siegel is the architect of record. An existing two-story, two-family brick house must first be demolished.

Construction Update: 199 Jay Street, Downtown Brooklyn

7:00 am on January 27, 2016 By Evan Bindelglass

It was in July of 2014 that YIMBY brought you word of plans for the site of an office building at 199 Jay Street, at the corner of the small section of Nassau Street before the Manhattan Bridge ramps, in Downtown Brooklyn. A month later, we showed you a rendering of the project. Since then the existing building was demolished. Other than that, however, the project has barely pierced the ground, as seen in photos sent to us by our friend Tectonic, and it has a long way to go before it achieves its 33-story design.

In the summer of 2015, detail emerged of the planned 34-story, 80-unit condominium building planned at 611 West 56th Street (a.k.a. 823 Eleventh Avenue), in Hell’s Kitchen. Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza is designing the tower, and Wallpaper has the first glimpse of what it will look like. The building will measure over 172,000 square feet and stand 420 feet above street level. Its residential units will come in a variety of configurations, from one-bedrooms to penthouses, and amenities include a landscaped roof garden, a sun deck, swimming pool, spa and fitness center, and entertainment space, among other facilities. Sumaida + Khurana and LENY are the developers, Gabellini Sheppard is designing the interiors, and SLCE Architects is serving as the architect of record. Construction starts this summer, with completion anticipated in 2019. A six-story commercial building must first be demolished.
