The affordable housing lottery has launched for 60th and Bay, an eight-story mixed-use building at 5920 Bay Parkway in Mapleton, Brooklyn. Designed by S. Wieder Architects, the structure yields 44 residences. Available on NYC Housing Connect are 14 units for residents at 70 to 130 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $54,858 to $198,250.
Permits have been filed to convert a two-story structure into a four-story residential building at 53 Stanhope Street in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Located between Central and Evergreen Avenues, the interior lot is near the Central Avenue subway station, serviced by the M train. Arkady Nagorev of Crown Hall LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The third entry in our Turkey Week rundown of stalled and on-hold construction projects in New York City is Affirmation Tower, a 1,663-foot mixed-use supertall at 418 Eleventh Avenue, just north of Related Companies‘ first phase of Hudson Yards. Designed by Sir David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates and developed in collaboration between Cheryl McKissack Daniel of McKissack & McKissack, The Peebles Corporation, Exact Capital Group, and the Witkoff Group, the 2-million-square-foot structure would easily wrest the title of tallest building in New York by roof height from Extell’s Central Park Tower, surpassing its parapet by more than 100 feet. The development’s 1.2-acre plot, dubbed “Site K,” was also the site selected for the long-stale Hudson Spire proposal, and is bound by West 36th Street to the north, West 35th Street to the south, Eleventh Avenue to the east, and Hudson Boulevard to the west.
Permits have been filed for a six-story residential building at 1152 Lafayette Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Located between Broadway and Bushwick Avenue, the interior lot is near the Knickerbocker Avenue subway station, serviced by the M train. Richard Zavlyanov of Diamond Development Group is listed as the owner behind the applications.
Leading off our Turkey Week rundown of prominent stalled projects in New York City is Seaport Residences, a 60-story residential skyscraper at 161 Maiden Lane along the border of Lower Manhattan’s Financial District and the South Street Seaport District. Designed by Hill West Architects and developed by Fortis Property Group, the slender 670-foot-tall tower, originally dubbed One Seaport, was planned to span 200,000 square feet and yield 80 condominium units with interiors by Groves & Co. Ray Builders was the last general contractor to work on the beleaguered project, which stands on a narrow site bound by South Street and Maiden Lane, directly across from the FDR Drive and the East River.
