In an announcement from The Carlton Group, Managing Director Ruth Barone has successfully coordinated private financing of Seabreeze Tower in Coney Island. The $47.5 million financing package will facilitate construction of the 22-floor residential tower.
Permits have been filed for a four-story residential building at 177 Montrose Avenue. Located between Humboldt Street and Graham Avenue, the interior site is situated in Brooklyn’s East Williamsburg neighborhood. Less than two blocks east is the Montrose subway station serviced by the L train, and the G train to Broadway station is half a mile to the west. Solomon Kubitchek of Zev Kohn is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The on-again, off-again development at One Sullivan Place in Prospect Park, Brooklyn appears to have again begun construction, and YIMBY has a first look at the new design.
Permits have been filed for a six-story residential building at 303 Powell Street, in Brownsville, Brooklyn. The site is two blocks west of the L Train’s Sutter Avenue subway station, and two blocks north of the Junius Street station on the 3 line. Mosche Ostricher will be responsible for the development.
YIMBY’s recent reportage on a new wave of failed development sites has yet another likely addition. Renderings for the new look of 131-141 East 47th Street were revealed by YIMBY back in April of 2016, and since then, the site for the 49-story, 122-unit residential tower has been cleared of the previously extant structures. However, over two years post-demolition, work has appeared to come to a grinding halt, with no subsequent progress yet visible. The project is being developed by New Empire Real Estate, with SLCE Architects leading design, with the Chinese crackdown on capital outflows a likely explanation for the apparent pause in construction.
