The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) has unveiled four new historic district markers commemorating the Longwood Historic District and Longwood Historic District Extension in Longwood, The Bronx. The markers recognize the architectural and historical significance of the neighborhood, which was designated by the LPC in 1980, with the extension added in 1983.
Exterior work is progressing on 200 West 88th Street, an 18-story residential tower on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects and developed by Nortco Development, the 215-foot-tall structure will span 114,000 square feet and yield 36 condominium units in three- to five-bedroom layouts. The project will also contain ground-floor retail space and enclosed parking spaces on the second level. The property is alternately addressed as 568-574 Amsterdam Avenue and located at the corner of West 88th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.
Demolition is progressing at 105 Underhill Avenue, the site of a five-story residential building in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by Isaac & Stern Architects for the Underhill Gardens LLC, the structure will yield 21 units. The trapezoidal-shaped property is located between St. Mark’s Avenue and Prospect Place.
The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) is set to review a proposal for alterations and a rooftop addition at 144 West 80th Street, a four-story townhouse on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by DTLS Architecture, the project involves modifications to both the front and rear façades, along with the construction of a setback penthouse addition designed to minimize visibility from the street.
Permits have been filed for an eight-story residential building at 958 Rogers Place in Longwood, The Bronx. Located between East 156th Street and Westchester Avenue, the lot is one block from the Intervale Avenue subway station, served by the 2 and 5 trains. Genc Popaj of GP Restoration NYC Inc. is listed as the owner behind the applications.
