1:00 pm on January 21, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Property owner Anthony Curcio has filed applications for a four-story, seven-unit residential building at 226 Withers Street, in northern Williamsburg, located four blocks from the Graham Avenue stop on the L train. The project will have 4,977 square feet of residential space, which means units will average a rental-sized 711 square feet apiece. There will be two apartments per floor, except the fourth floor will contain one unit with access to a rooftop terrace. Philip Toscano’s Brooklyn-based architecture firm is the applicant of record. An existing two-story brick building must first be demolished.

ULURP Kicks Off For 23-Story, 335-Unit Mixed-Use Building At 2 Sherman Avenue, Washington Heights

11:00 am on January 21, 2016 By Reid Wilson

The Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) has officially kicked off for the proposed 23-story, 335-unit mixed-use building at 2 Sherman Avenue, in the Fort George section of Washington Heights, located four blocks from stops on either the A or 1 trains. The project, developed by Washington Square Partners and Acadia Realty Trust, will include retail space and a community facility. According to Politico New York, the project will be the first to utilize Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program, which requires developers to rent 30 percent of the residential units at below-market rates in exchange for a rezoning. The mayor’s program is expected to be voted on over the next few months. If the program is not established, the developers will go ahead with the city’s current system, which would require 20 percent of the units to be affordable. An existing two-story commercial building must first be demolished.

Two buildings, one destination. That’s what’s going on at 88 & 90 Lexington Avenue, between East 27th and 26th streets in Manhattan’s Gramercy area. Two buildings – 88 Lexington Avenue, built in 1927, and 90 Lexington Avenue, built in 1958 – are being converted into luxury condominiums by HFZ Capital Group, with workshop/apd as designer. We stepped inside last week to see how the conversion is going.

A strip of aging industrial buildings along McCarren Park in Greenpoint are gradually giving way to residential ones.

4:00 pm on January 20, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Property owner Terry Martinolle, doing business as an anonymous LLC, has filed applications for a seven-story, five-unit residential building at 650 East 6th Street, located in the Alphabet City section of the East Village. The 8,491-square-foot project will include 7,761 square feet of residential space, which means units will average 1,552 square feet apiece, indicative of condominiums. A duplex apartment will occupy part of the ground floor and the entire second floor, the third through fifth floors will have one unit on each level, and a duplex unit will span the sixth floor and seventh-floor penthouse. Brooklyn-based RSVP Architecture Studio will be responsible for the design. An existing four-story, three-unit building must first be demolished.

Three Three-Story, Two-Unit Residential Buildings Coming To 696 East 38th Street, East Flatbush

2:00 pm on January 20, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Queens-based property owner Yaniv Levy has filed applications for three three-story, two-unit residential buildings at 692-696 East 38th Street, on the southern end of East Flatbush, located eight blocks east of the Newkirk Avenue stop on the 2 and 5 trains. The structures will all measure 3,661 square feet each, with 2,771 square feet to be used for residential space in each structure. That means units will average a family-sized 1,385 square feet across the entire development. The project is relatively contextual and will rise on a 77-foot-wide vacant swath of land flanked by rowhouses on both sides. Queens-based Gerald Caliendo is the architect of record.
