City Launches Request for Proposals Seeking All-Affordable Mixed-Use Project at 1691 Madison Avenue, East Harlem

1:00 pm on May 24, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HDP) have launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a 400-unit-plus, mixed-use development on the block bound by Park and Madison avenues and East 111th and 112th streets, in East Harlem. The request mandates the development to be entirely below market-rate and to have at least 400 rental apartments. In addition, all proposals must be of Passive House standards, according to Politico New York. The project will also include commercial and community facility components, and likely a public park space. The 76,500-square-foot development site currently consists of East Harlem Little League’s baseball field and four community gardens. It takes up the entire block, with the exception of the vacant lot at 91 East 111th Street and the four-story building at 1679 Madison Avenue. The baseball field and two of the community gardens will be relocated within the neighborhood. Since the project will be built on city-owned land, the selected proposal would have to be approved through the city’s ULURP process.

Eight-Story, 32-Unit Mixed-Use Project Nearly Topped Out at 109 East 115th Street, East Harlem

1:00 pm on May 23, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Back in November of 2015, a rendering was revealed of the planned eight-story, 32-unit mixed-use building at 109 East 115th Street, in East Harlem. Now, the structure is nearly topped out, Harlem+Bespoke reports. The structure encompasses 35,493 square feet, and will include a 5,392-square-foot nonprofit community facility on the ground floor. The residential units, which begin on the second floor, should average 699 square feet apiece, indicative of rental apartments. Amenities include a storage space for 16 bikes, a fitness center, and an outdoor terrace on the second floor. ACNY Developers Inc. is developing the project, while H. Thomas O’Hara’s Midtown-based HTO Architect is the architect of record. Completion is expected later this year.

12-Story, 120,000-Square-Foot Residential Building Planned at 1988-1996 Second Avenue, East Harlem

3:30 pm on May 13, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In 2015, Bonjour Capital acquired the 11,857-square-foot development site at 1988-1996 Second Avenue and 303 East 102nd Street – located between East 102nd and 103rd streets in East Harlem – for roughly $25 million. Now, it has been revealed that the developer is planning a 12- or 13-story, 120,000-square-foot residential building at the site, Crain’s reports. The units will be rental apartments, although the number of them is not currently known. The site can accommodate 71,142 square feet of residential space as-of-right, but the site comes with addition air rights, boosting that figure to roughly 120,000 square feet. Groundbreaking is expected by the end of the year, with completion scheduled for early 2019. All seven of the assembled lots are currently vacant.

Back in February, the foundation was being poured for the 12-story, 75-unit mixed-use building under development at 69 East 125th Street, in East Harlem.

Supportive Housing Planned to Replace Abandoned East Harlem Brownstone at 52 East 126th Street

7:00 am on April 29, 2016 By Rebecca Baird-Remba

Fifteen years ago, complaints began rolling into the city Department of Buildings about the abandoned, double-wide brownstone at 52 East 126th Street in East Harlem. The building was vacant and in danger of collapsing, callers said. Squatters had taken up residence, and neighbors saw addicts and prostitutes coming and going. The block even banded together to seal the building. But it looks like the collapsing brownstone won’t be around much longer. Nonprofit social services agency Odyssey House has filed plans to develop five stories of supportive housing on the lot between Madison and Park Avenues.

Schematic Drawings Posted Of Nine-Story, 59-Unit Mixed-Use Project at 1987 Third Avenue, East Harlem

11:00 am on April 6, 2016 By Reid Wilson

In early 2014, applications were filed to expand (from the foundation of) the existing four-story tenement buildings at 1987-1991 Third Avenue, located on the corner of East 109th Street in East Harlem, into a nine-story, 59-unit mixed-use building. Harlem+Bespoke now has schematic drawings of the project, which also reveals its scheduled completion date – December of 2017. The expanded structure will measure 58,728 square feet and will feature 5,871 of ground-floor retail space. The residential units above should average 865 square feet apiece, which means rental apartments are likely in the works. Amenities listed in the Schedule A include bike storage, a laundry, and recreational space, all located in the cellar. Queens-based EM Architectural Design is the architect of record, and Yin Han, doing business as an anonymous LLC, is the developer. The existing structures are currently being reduced to their foundation.

This past December, the city launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the commercial development site at 2325 Third Avenue, in East Harlem.

The Real Deal reports property owner Park-It Management is filings applications to move forward with another piece of the project at 213 East 125th Street.

The 96,539-square-foot structure will include 19,211 square feet of commercial-retail on the ground and second floors, and 6,212 square feet of community space on third floor.
