Earlier this year, Brownstoner caught the first glimpse of the boutique condo development at 170-174 West Street in Greenpoint. Now YIMBY has renderings for the six-story project designed by StudiosC Architects, who are headquartered a few blocks away on Greenpoint Avenue.
Six years ago, the city upzoned a quiet, largely vacant stretch of Webster Avenue next to Woodlawn Cemetery to allow the construction of a large affordable housing development, Webster Commons. Some of the buildings have already started renting through the city’s housing lottery process, but new building applications were filed yesterday for another piece of the project at 3620 Webster Avenue.
On Rockaway Beach Boulevard near the Rockaway Park A train stop, a block and a half of storefronts burned down and were battered by storm surges during Hurricane Sandy three years ago. But now the strip between Beach 115th and 113th Streets is about to see some new life. Applications were filed today for two three-story, mixed-use buildings at 114-06 and 114-30 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, about a mile and a half west of the Cross Bay Bridge that links the peninsula with Howard Beach in Queens.
Staten Island-based developer Robert Germano has filed applications for twin two-story residential buildings — totaling four residential units — at 226-230 Seaview Avenue, in Dongan Hills. The development will net 4,317 square feet of residential space, which means units will average 1,080 square feet. Also Staten Island-based, Anthony Scaglione is the architect of record, and the site’s former single-family home was demolished earlier this summer.
Brooklyn-based developer Mayer Meisels has filed applications for a four-story, seven-unit residential building at 1814 Bleecker Street, in western Ridgewood, five blocks from the M train’s stop at Seneca Avenue. The building will measure 4,995 square feet, which means units will more than likely be rentals, averaging 715 square feet apiece. Brooklyn-based Barry Goldsmith is the applicant of record, and the existing two-story, single-family home must first be demolished.
